The horseback ride starts directly from the Piandarca Breeding Horse farm and takes place entirely on a flat route, ideal for relaxing and enjoying the landscape at a leisurely pace. From the very first steps, you are enveloped by the silence of the Umbrian countryside, interrupted only by the sound of hooves and the wind that sweeps across the open fields.
The route winds through country roads and nature trails, offering wide and bright views. Along the route, your gaze sweeps over the surrounding hills, from which you can clearly admire Montefalco, Spello, and Assisi, which emerge on the horizon like postcards, each with its own unmistakable profile.
Continuing at a leisurely pace, you reach the area of Piandarca, a place full of spirituality and history, where, according to tradition, St. Francis preached to the birds. Here, time seems to slow down: nature is the absolute protagonist and conveys a feeling of deep peace, perfectly in tune with the Franciscan message.
Not far away, you will also find the largest Tau in Europe, a symbol dear to St. Francis and a sign of protection and harmony. Seeing it set in the rural landscape makes this point on the route even more evocative and invites contemplation.
After about an hour in total, the ride returns to the farm following the same flat terrain, still offering breathtaking views of the Umbrian countryside and the surrounding villages. It is an experience that combines nature, panorama and spirituality, perfect for those who want to experience Umbria in an authentic way, slowly, on horseback.
