At the foot of Hohen Meißner, lonely in the middle of the forest, like its own little village, lies the Hirschberg riding stable. Robert Simon, owner of the farm, has realized his childhood dream here. In his first life he was rushed from appointment to appointment. Money and success had been in the foreground. In his second life, he bought the ancient Hirschberg manor, and after years of loving and painstaking renovation and conversion work, it became today's Hirschberg horse farm: a beautiful half-timbered property.... Here you can go on vacation, send your children to holiday riding camps, take various courses and much more about horses. Source and further information on all offers: www.reiterhof-hirschberg.de
