Stop At: Fagaras Mountains, Sambata de Sus Romania
Visit Lippizan Horse Farm. Despite competing claims from Austria and Italy over the geographic origin and lineage of this breed, it is now established that the original stud was created at the Lipica Stud Farm and all present horses stem from that bloodline. Beginning in the 1580s, horses of Spanish, Arabian and Berber stock were bred with the tough and muscular local Karst horse, to create the Lipizzaner strain. Relatively small in stature with a long back, short thick neck and powerful build, this horse is born dark in colour, gradually becoming lighter as it matures, and finally adopting the pristine white coat that is its hallmark around the age of five or six. These distinctive physical traits are complemented by a beautiful sense of balance and rhythm, a lively, high stepping gait and an even temperament. With such qualities, the Lipizzaner have for centuries excelled in both carriage driving and as show horses.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Lisa, CART. UNIREA, 460A, Bistrita, Bistrita-Nasaud, 420005, Romania
In Lisa village we stop at Greavu Viorel family household, located in a beautiful mountain area, where we visit a facility that processes these thick wool fabric, using hydraulic power and which is the family business for over 100 years, being transmitted from father to son and which reached its fifth generation.
