Emese tour 6 days
Anonymus, a historian in the court of Béla IV of Hungary, in his cronicle refers to Emese as the daughter ofchieftain Eunedubelianus, and the mother of Prince Álmos. The saga of Álmos and that of the Turul (peregrine falcon) , the totemistic bird of ancient Hungarians, are connected to her name. Part of the saga is Emese’s dream: the story is not only pagan and pre-Christian, but also of a distinctly ancient nature. According to the legend, the turul bird enticed her with a dream in which a river originated from the womb of Emese, which would grow and spread over a foreign land. According to dream speakers, this meant that she would give birth to a son who would lead his people out of their homeland, Etelköz and his descendants would become glorious kings. In his study, the historian György Szabados states that King Béla’s historian “probably used the word emesu as a personal name due to a misunderstanding. “Emes” in the old Hungarian language meant a half-awake, half-crazed state during vigil, when the boundaries between dream and reality are blurred.”
This new tour combines the elements of the Attila tour and the Danube-Tisza tour.

The special feature of the Emese tour is the visit of the eastern Akhal Teke stud and the Eco-Park in Sándorfalva, at 1200 acre nature conservation area next to the Pusztaszer observation tower, and the Hungarian Grey cattles/Blonde Aquiten herd.

This tour is only accessible for experienced riders who have at least a good intermediate level of riding.
