Riding in the forest

For many riders, riding in the forest is one of the most enjoyable leisure activities and provides active recreation in nature. It should be noted that in Saxony, riding in the forest is subject to the regulations of the Saxon Forest Act. According to this law, riding in the forest is only permitted on designated and marked forest paths, whereby the paths are marked with a stylised horse's head.
Riding in the forest outside of designated bridleways is an offence under the Saxon Forest Act and can be punished with a fine.
