Kummersdorf between the Riding Stable and Winter Trails

Meadows, paddocks and forests shape the surroundings of the Kummersdorf riding stable. There are also various routes through the region: an easy winter hike starts in Kummersdorf, a district of Arrach, while an MTB tour leads downhill to the village. When looking for a holiday apartment, you can first consider whether horse riding, hiking or cycling will be the main focus of your trip.

Riding Stable and Pony Rides in Kummersdorf

The Kummersdorf riding stable lies between Hohenbogen and Großer Arber, away from federal roads and motorways. The facility is surrounded by meadows, paddocks and forests, with good opportunities for riding out directly from the stable. Both views of the surrounding landscape and outdoor riding are therefore among the activities described at the riding stable.

The facility includes a 40 x 40 m all-weather riding arena and a 19 m lungeing ring, both with Otto-Loch mats and a sand/fleece mix. There is also a 15 x 15 m indoor exercise arena. If the facilities are important to your plans, it is advisable to confirm the current status of each area before your visit.

Registration is required for pony rides at the Mühlbauer riding stable in Kummersdorf. You can register with the Arrach Tourist Information Office or directly with the Mühlbauer family. Check the registration arrangements again before your trip to make sure this outing fits your plans.

Winter Hiking, Circular Trail and Mountain Biking

The easy Ar winter hike starts at the “Am Hohenbogen” holiday village in Kummersdorf, a district of Arrach. It follows a cleared pedestrian path along hiking trails Ar7 and Ar4 to Ottenzell. The route thus links a clearly named starting point with a destination and a winter hike rated as easy.

The “Arrach - Haibühl - Kolmstein” MTB tour offers a different way to get around: it follows hiking trail Ar7 downhill to Kummersdorf. The two descriptions differ primarily in their mode of travel and direction: the winter hike leads to Ottenzell, while the MTB tour descends to Kummersdorf.

Route Ar04 (“Around Arrach”) describes a forest path followed by a meadow path for the return journey. This adds another sequence of paths to the specific route details given for the winter hike and MTB tour. As trail conditions can change with the seasons, it is worth checking them before setting out.
