The horses run along a 175-metre track through the wild landscape of Ithaka. The ride was built by Metallbau Emmeln and has been in the park since 2010.

The Experience

At a gentle trot of around 5 km/h, you head through the countryside. The horses could certainly use a companion for their journey. A ride lasts almost two minutes.
