Sólyom Major, a tourist center (Ecovillage), aims to create a place for visitors that brings tranquility and takes us out of the everyday rat race. We wanted to establish a true tourist oasis, an Ecovillage, in the heart of Transylvania, where not only our family but also anyone who shares similar values can come. Our guesthouse has 11 rooms and is suitable for team-building events, corporate gatherings, conferences, presentations, courses, and family programs.

Activities we offer include horse riding lessons, which both beginners and experienced riders can enjoy according to their skill level, either outdoors or in a covered stable. We also provide summer carriage rides and winter horse-drawn sleigh rides, during which you can get a glimpse of the natural beauty and traditions of Kissolymos and the surrounding villages.
