Jagdschule Park and Lake

It was a very nice but also stressful time. After all, you don't get a hunting license for free. We were well prepared for all exams. The food was very good and very varied. You can also learn to cook here. Peter Rennforth's entertainment in the evenings has to be experienced to be believed. So, just spend a weekend here, cook or hunt. Everything is possible in the castle.

Very good hunting school. I can only recommend it. Always very interesting lessons with a lot of variety, not just theory but also practical. I never got bored...The accommodation, service and food were also great. There is also a very idyllic location with a large garden and a beautiful outdoor seating area.I really liked it there.

I described the accommodation extensively in my review of “Jagdschloss Lalendorf”, here I would like to dedicate myself to evaluating the hunting school:In short the accommodation was a 10/10, for those just reading this review. Castle great, rooms great, food phenomenal.The hunting school mostly included frontal instruction, both from dear Peter, who also runs it, and from Frank, a teacher who studied forestry. So we were informed continuously for 14 days. Even in the evenings, with one or two or more delicious whiskeys, old hunting stories were told and there was a lot of laughter and knowledge deepened.Since we were also successful at hunting ourselves and dismantled and skinned the pieces ourselves, we were ahead of all other hunting schools when it came to practice. We were also always able to learn from practical examples that all the antlers, animals, trees and bushes are found in the castle and the castle garden.The shooting test was child's play thanks to the shooting cinema and the shooting range; only your own excitement/trembling decides here. During the written and oral/practical parts, we were able to put a look of amazement on the examiners' faces. Thanks to our wealth of knowledge, we all achieved a very good to good exam. One can only say that the Park and Lake hunting school is the best choice for the entire, worry-free package. From the accommodation, to the food and the communal evenings to the hunting test, a perfect program. I wish I hadn't passed so that I could come again. All joking aside, you do that anyway because after passing the test you can hunt for FREE in the castle's own area. So the old friends like to meet again and again.Thank you, Brigitte, Peter, Frank and Ms. Giese for this unforgettable time.

One of my best decisions was getting my hunting license here!From the hunting lodge to the hosts to the staff, a feel-good package.Mr. Dr. Rennfort is a great teacher who, with wit, charm and over fifty years of hunting experience, knows how to train his students so that they have very good qualifications for passing the hunting test.Many thanks and all the best to the Park and Lake team

Dr. Rennfort certainly has its own style, but in order to get this extensive knowledge in your head to pass the hunter test in such a short time, certain methods are simply required. Basically very familiar, loving, competent, funny and extremely tasty.In retrospect, I can warmly recommend this hunting school with a clear conscience. These are really tiring days, but it's worth it...Thank you Peter, thank you Brigitte, thank you Nette, thank you Frank, thank you to the Rotte May 24!And always remember: only one ear on the left...

Rating hunting schoolWhat is the goal - the hunting license - and how can I achieve it?It was clear to everyone that it wasn't easy to give the students the hunter's life in two weeks. So there needs to be a plan that does justice to the topic and the sometimes very inhomogeneous student population. The hunting school has this plan! It could be described as “promoting and demanding”. And it works. Peter Rennford and Ms. Brigitte Feine manage to create a pleasant atmosphere and constantly encourage and motivate the participants. No matter what previous knowledge or requirements the students have, knowledge is conveyed safely thanks to a well-thought-out didactic concept and is firmly memorized after continuous repetition. So success is inevitable. And that's how it happened.I am very happy that I chose this hunting school because the ambience of the hunting lodge is very appealing, the master is a professional with many anecdotes about hunting and the meals, which he prepares himself, are close to star cuisine. I have never eaten so consistently and delicately before - game, fresh, with proven origins, in a variety of forms. Sometimes I forgot that I was a student - I felt more like a guest among good friends. Thank you for these tiring but also very eventful days. For me, this hunting school is a clear recommendation!

At the beginning I didn't know whether you could learn everything relevant to the exam in 14 days if you were ignorant. I say YES it works!!!This hunting school brings you to your goal with the perfect balance of theory and practice.The years of experience at this hunting school more than pay off. Now that I have passed the exam, I feel perfectly trained and ready for my first “Waidmannsheil”.Anyone who wants to get a hunting license should also take a longer journey - it's worth it.PS: Anyone who chooses the AI ​​program will be very well accommodated and looked after 😁

Very nice hunting school with top preparation. The garden has all the tree species you need for the hunting test. The food is world class 👌. You can end the evening nicely in the safari bar. Peter and Brigitte are always there if you have any questions and you get every question answered. The Kobe beef hamburger is a delight. There are many specimens in the classroom that you can pick up and look at in order to learn for the exam. This hunting school is recommended because you really only do hunting school and nothing else.

Beautiful hunting school. The lessons build on each other very well. However, hunting practice is never neglected, which makes the theoretical knowledge even more understandable. During the course you will be well looked after and can ask questions even late in the evening. The food is also unbeatable.Absolutely clear recommendation!

Two stars too few, three too many.Accommodation: The first impression of the castle was welcoming and atmospheric. The architecture and surroundings were impressive. However, upon closer inspection, many small defects became apparent, which did not necessarily reflect the high quality as it was advertised. Although the rooms were small and cozy, they were also intended to serve as studies. Unfortunately, there was a lack of sufficient light, which impaired the learning effect.Food: The food at the Park and Lake hunting school was varied and OK. It may not have been a masterpiece, but it was definitely tasty and always satisfying. Fresh ingredients were used and the food selection was varied enough to suit the tastes of different guests. Overall, the quality of the food was satisfactory and contributed to the pleasant atmosphere during my stay.Education and Shooting Training: Hands-on training and shooting training at Park and Lake Hunting School were critical, but there were some challenges. Initially, we were assured that we would visit the shooting cinema every day, in addition to two visits to the shooting range. However, we were actually only able to use the shooting cinema five times and the quality did not meet our expectations. After the first three days in the shooting cinema, all participants felt confident in handling the weapon, but during their first live shooting, some had concerns about whether they would pass the test. At the shooting range, each participant was only allowed to complete one round for each discipline, which included 10 rounds of shot and 5 rounds for each discipline - a number that proved to be insufficient. Although it was possible to reload an additional 5 shots, this required additional costs.Costs and Additional Fees: The financial side was extremely disappointing and I feel ripped off. Although breakfast was included in the price, lunch and dinner were only offered as options, but quickly proved to be the only choice. Storing or preparing food was not permitted, and outside of break times there were few places to get food other than a chip shop. So you were forced to bear the high costs of €40 per day. Although the food was acceptable, it didn't justify the price. What was particularly disappointing, however, was the urgent recommendation for an additional course to obtain the knowledgeable person certification for €90. We were convinced that this certificate was not part of the hunter exam. To our annoyance, however, it turned out that I now have this exact certificate twice.Friendliness: Unfortunately, the tone was not as warm as I would have expected. The group quickly got used to not asking any further questions as they were often answered with ungrateful comments. The hospitality left something to be desired and I often felt like I was viewed more as a paying guest, obligated to pay for and accept every offer.Friendliness: Unfortunately, the tone left something to be desired and was rather strict and not very accommodating. In some cases the tone of the answers was inappropriate and did not contribute to a positive atmosphere, both during the lesson and in general. It quickly became a habit not to ask any further questions as they were often answered with ungrateful comments. Hospitality also fell short of expectations and I often had the feeling that I was viewed as more of a paying guest who was simply obligated to accept and pay for any offer.
