The Quellenviertel isn’t a pretentious sort of place. Not even when it comes to horses.
Here, you can ride through rolling hills, across meadows, past farmsteads where people still say hello to one another – and sometimes even stop for a chat.
Whether it’s a leisurely ride, a riding holiday on a farm or your first attempts in the saddle: the Quellenviertel has something for everyone who loves horses. And for anyone who’s still finding out.
The trails are there. So are the hosts. And the feeling?
It comes all by itself – somewhere between the hoofprints and the horizon.
It’s great to have you here.

Gentle hills, woodland and meadow landscapes, bridleways, pony activities, riding lessons, Icelandic horses, family-friendly hotels and hosts who know exactly what horse lovers need after a day at the stables. Authentic, down-to-earth and close to the animals. That’s exactly how it should be.
