Horse riding - In step with nature

Our modern equestrian centre is situated just a few metres from the estate. There, we combine our passion for horses with first-class facilities and a wide range of riding activities for hotel guests and day visitors. Whether you’d like to enjoy a guided ride through the beautiful countryside or a holiday with your own horse – we look forward to hearing from you!

About our horse riding activities

Riding at Gut Immenhof - Our riding centre in the heart of Holsteinische Schweiz

The equestrian centre

Modern facilities, spacious outdoor areas and proximity to nature were particularly important when designing the equestrian centre. After all, riding at Gut Immenhof is also about creating ideal conditions for horses and riders alike. Twenty-one spacious outdoor stables provide a home for our fourteen own horses and up to eight guest horses. The outdoor facilities include a large flood-and-ebb arena (30 x 70 metres), a lunging circle, six winter-proof sand paddocks and pastures of various sizes. In addition, there are two washing bays, a solarium and, of course, our historic, light-filled indoor riding arena (20 x 40 metres).

A wide range of horse riding activities

Our riding activities for hotel guests and day visitors are just as varied as the hotel and estate itself. Whether it’s professional riding lessons, group lessons or lunging, guided rides through the Prinzenholz Nature Park or pony rides for the little ones – our team, led by Master Equine Manager Anne Benkert, looks forward tohearing from you.

About the horse riding activities

Special moments in nature

Gentle hills, a vast forest of ancient trees and – just beyond it – Lake Kellersee with its magnificent panoramic views. Our riding centre is nestled in the heart of this beautiful countryside. Whether on guided rides or pony treks for children – our riding activities offer you the chance to experience the natural surroundings of our estate in a very special way: on horseback!

Guest horse stalls

Would you like to bring your own horse? Wonderful! Our spacious equestrian centre comprises eight modern guest stables, which you can book on a daily or weekly basis as a guest at Gut Immenhof. The booking includes not only full board for your horse, but also free use of our entire equestrian facilities, including pastures, paddocks, a sand arena, a lunging circle and an indoor riding arena.

You can make enquiries about our guest horse stables when booking your room via the hotel reception.
