Explore the beauty of the lower Taunus Mountains on a pony or horse from the lovely Ponyhof Schanze! Horse lovers of all ages and all experience levels can enjoy an open ride along their trail in the woods. Don't worry you can't get lost... the horse knows the way!
How to get there:
Located in Schlangenbad, Germany, 20 mins from Wiesbaden, and adjacent to the adventure park Taunus Wunderland. They have their own parking lot for customers and they are extremely friendly to newcomers.
The Horses:
You have the option to take a pony or horse on your own or have a group/ party with one of their experienced guides. The price is extremely reasonable at 9 euro for 30 mins on a self guided ride with a pony. With a reservation you can have a group with a guide for 15 euro each for an hour to an hour and a half ride in the forest.
If you plan on bringing your children, the parent holds the leash of the horse and guides the way. The path can be slightly muddy if it recently rained.. so don't bring your best shoes!
The view is breathtaking and the air is crisp. It is a great escape from the hustle and bustle of the Wiesbaden streets and only 20 mins away.
At the end of the trail you can get a sneak peek into the Taunus Wunderland park and wave back to the happy children observing your ride.
The horses are extremely well groomed and well trained. They have a kind demeanor and they know the way back to the barn!
