Denmark, Römö

Römö is Denmark's most southwestern island and easily accessible by bridge from the mainland. As much as 90% of the island consists of unspoilt nature, half of which is a sandy beach. That is, an Eldorado for riders. Here is actually the largest sandy beach in Northern Europe. It is miles long and hundreds of meters wide! You can tolt and gallop on perfect ground in total silence forever - indescribable!

The base for the adventure is a complete holiday resort which, depending on the season, suits both the dedicated rider and the rest of the family. If you are a nature-loving rider it is recommended to come off season as you can enjoy the proximity to the sea and nature and excellent riding. July and August are perfect for the family as it is full of people at the campsite and many families with children.

The horses play a central role. There are about 100 Icelandic horses, which allows good riding for both experienced and beginners, adults and children. Everyone can ride here. But you are divided into two groups, so that the experienced riders get challenging rides and the beginners get a safe experience.

The entire facility, which consists of hotel, wellness and spa, cottages, camping and equestrian center has been run by the same horse-loving family for 30 years. Everyone strives for satisfied customers and new renovations and improvements are always planned to succeed.

Other activities

There is a whole lot of other activities that the accompanying travellers can do. Besides all the sports you can do on the beach, hiking trails, bike rides and fishing are very popular. The Wadden Sea is an Eldorado for birdwatchers with 15 million migratory birds that stop to eat their fill during certain times of the year.
An 18 hole golf course is located about 1.5 km from the hotel.
Dogs are warmly welcomed and there is an agility course in the area + lots of forest and beach to explore. Dogs are welcome everywhere also on the beach, but should be on a leash 1.4-30.9 (however there are several fenced areas where dogs can be loose all year round). It costs 300 SEK extra / stay with dog. Please notify at time of booking if you wish to book with a dog.
At the reception you can get help with information and booking of activities.

Horses

Horses

In total there are about 100 Icelandic horses, of which two breeding stallions and every year new horses are born. At the stable is the Icelandic horse expert Sigursteinn Gudmundsson, "Steini". When Therese, the hotel's owner was in Iceland 16 years ago to look for nice Icelandic horses, she took the opportunity to import a genuine Icelander as well. In addition to his expertise in horses, Steini is good at creating a good atmosphere, especially with his guitar and his Icelandic songs. In the stable there are horses for both the experienced rider and for you who are sitting on horseback for the first time.

Blue and red groups
The riders are divided into two groups. Red = experienced riders and blue = beginners. Usually there are about 8 riders per group, but just like in Iceland there can sometimes be more.
