Hunting

The 500-hectare historic wildlife park lies on the border of Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria, near Heidenheim. The fencing around the estate’s park was erected in 1817 due to the excessive damage to surrounding farmers’ crops. Today it is historically protected and extensively looked after and repaired with wood from Duttenstein’s forests.

Wildlife

Our large population of fallow deer made Duttenstein an attractive hunting destination for European nobility since medieval times. Lasting over centuries, even today the park offers a variety of wildlife from fallow deer, mouflons, and wild boars, guaranteeing a first-class hunting experience.

To continue this long-standing tradition, individual or group hunts can be booked at the estate. Guided stalking tours, hunting seats, and drive hunts at Duttenstein are available upon request. The Castle and the hunting lodge are available for private hire, to accommodate hunting guests and group.
