Those who spend their holidays on the Moselle River usually seek the tranquility of the vineyards and relaxation in high-quality wellness areas. However, for many guests of the Lifestyle Resort Zum Kurfürsten, the perfect holiday also includes being close to noble four-legged friends. Our insider tip for riding enthusiasts is the “Cusanus-Hofgut” equestrian center in Bernkastel-Kues . Here, professional sport, species-appropriate animal husbandry, and a breathtaking natural setting merge into a complete experience that is unparalleled in the region.
Just a short walk away
A particular advantage for our guests is the excellent location. The riding stables are just a 5-minute walk from the Lifestyle Resort Zum Kurfürsten. This means no stress finding parking and no long commutes. You can slip into your riding boots right after breakfast and enjoy the short walk across the Kueser Plateau before reaching the stables. This proximity makes it easy to spontaneously integrate riding lessons into your day between spa treatments and culinary delights.
Qualified riding lessons for all levels
The riding stable's philosophy is based on quality and individual attention. Riding lessons are offered here for beginners as well as advanced riders . The on-site team understands how to gently introduce newcomers to their first contact with horses and also provides experienced riders with new inspiration to enhance their skills.
The lesson times are scheduled so that they can be ideally incorporated into a holiday week:
-
Weekdays: Training always takes place from Tuesday to Friday.
-
Weekend: The doors are also open to riders on Sundays by appointment .
Modern infrastructure and guest horse service
The Cusanus Estate is a modern facility that meets the highest standards. In addition to shelter and expert care for your own horses in modern facilities, trail rides are also available. This is particularly appealing for guests who wish to spend their holiday with their own horse. Your animal will enjoy professional care while you relax and unwind at the Lifestyle Resort Zum Kurfürsten.
Should the weather not cooperate, the facility still offers excellent conditions. There is also a large indoor riding arena where training can take place dust-free and protected. The bright and airy stables also ensure a pleasant climate for the animals.
Nature experience on the Kueser Plateau
The heart of the offering, however, is the surrounding area. It is, of course, the magnificent landscape rich in forests and meadows that attracts riders from all over Germany. The Kueser Plateau offers an extensive network of trails that begin right at the riding stables. Riding along the Moselle hills, you will experience spectacular views of the river valley far below and the steep vineyards.
These horseback rides are far more than just sport; they are a form of meditation in motion. The tranquility of the forests and the sweeping views across the Moselle hills offer a perfect contrast to the hectic pace of everyday life.
Cozy atmosphere in the riders' lounge
After a day in the saddle, socializing is just as important. A cozy riders' lounge is also available , serving as the central meeting point of the farm. Here you can relax after your ride, chat with fellow enthusiasts, or simply watch the activity on the farm. It's this personal and welcoming charm that makes the Cusanus-Hofgut a true hidden gem.
