Ampflwang, a village of horse riders

Your paradise for unforgettable riding holidays

In the equestrian village of Ampflwang, everything revolves around horses – and having a really good time in the saddle. With a wealth of experience, genuine passion and a keen understanding of both people and animals, you’ll find exactly what you’re looking for here: from a relaxing riding holiday to targeted skill development in the saddle.

Whether it’s an all-inclusive club hotel, a cosy riding centre or an Icelandic horse stud with a family atmosphere – there’s something to suit everyone in the Quellenviertel. Beginners can ease into riding step by step, whilst more advanced riders can refine their technique and style – whether it’s tölting, Western riding, working on the lunge or carriage driving.

And out and about? The Hausruck Forest awaits. Gentle hills, peaceful paths and plenty of space to see the world from a different perspective – namely from horseback. Just as it should be.

The little ones aren’t left out either: ponies, first attempts at riding and experiences you won’t forget in a hurry. And if you bring your own horse, you’ll be right in the thick of things rather than just watching from the sidelines – with suitable stabling and the best possible care.
