Hunting in Czech Republic
The soul of the Czech Republic’s hunting culture was robustly solidified in an extraordinary way during the height of the famed Habsburg monarchy. Throughout the Habsburg’s nearly five-century reign, a number of royal hunting castles were purpose-built near the country’s most exquisite hunting areas. Sprawling pheasant shooting estates were also developed and meticulously managed by expert game keepers. The Habsburg dynasty came to an end after WW1, and sadly, most of the monarchy’s amazing Czech Republic hunting castles fell into disrepair and the revered shooting estates were largely abandoned. Today, hunting in the Czech Republic remains popular among local woodsmen and outdoor enthusiasts, but the grandeur and world class hunting quality associated with the Habsburg era are mostly things of the past.
There is, however, still one very special hunting castle in the Czech Republic that serves as a link to a bygone age and offers some of the most exclusive driven pheasant shooting in all of Central Europe. In addition to pheasants, the immediate area is also home to record-level mouflon and giant fallow deer. JAGD STIEDL hunters enjoy special access to this one-of-a-kind Habsburg hunting castle and its surrounding hunting grounds.
