We haven’t covered hunting in Germany much due to the difficulty traveling hunters, particularly those from overseas, have had getting a hunting license there. But subscriber Joe Schetz says that is a thing of the past. He just returned from a hunt he enjoyed there after attending a business-related conference in Bremen, and he says getting a hunting license was no problem. Plus, the place he visited is perfect to take a non-hunting spouse and enjoy some time in the woods hunting free-ranging game. The place where Schetz stayed is called Hotel Schloss & Gut Liebenberg, located about an hour north of Berlin in northeastern Germany.
Hotel Schloss & Gut Liebenberg is actually a country manor featuring its own chapel, traditional gardens and extensive grounds. Schetz describes it as a luxurious place that any spouse would love. Indeed, the photographs of the accommodations and surrounding grounds featured on its German-language web site (www.schloss-liebenberg.de) show what an upscale and modern place it is. Schetz says all of the staff members at the hotel speak English, so communication is not a problem. The rooms are large, including a living area/sitting room, a foyer and private bath. An onsite restaurant provides gourmet meals. Schetz says his wife did not accompany him on this trip, but after seeing his photographs of the place and hearing his descriptions, she realized she had made a mistake.
Hunting at Hotel Schloss Lieben- berg is for roe deer, fallow deer, mouflon and of course, the ubiquitous wild boar. Schetz says hunting is done by sitting on the edge of fields or well trafficked areas in the woods in shooting houses, both on the ground and elevated, and also by still-hunting and stalking through the woods.....
