Landhotel Pferdeschulze

In Wietzetze, very close to the village of Hitzacker, emerges the Landhotel Pferdeschulze,
the alma mater of hundreds of people in search of a green, rural ecosystem and extraordinary tranquillity.
However, this is not just a hotel, but an equestrian centre full of vibrant activities that attract
people from all over Germany and even as far away as Australia, with a constant stream of
nature and equestrian enthusiasts coming and going.
This family business has Welsh roots, so we embrace any kind of multiculturalism. If you
want to come and help us, you are more than welcome!
We receive a variety of volunteers on a monthly basis who are looking for goals as varied as
a sense of freedom or the intention to practice their German, which is made possible by both
the Schulze family and the staff who are willing to help.
We offer a full range of daily meals (with vegetarian and vegan options!), accommodation
and two days off per week. In return, we simply ask you to help with some of the hotel's
chores; from cleaning rooms and kitchen work to maintaining the horse stables. Of course,
we are willing to listen to what your predispositions are once you are with us.
And remember, if you are one of those who love to wake up with the morning dew and go to
bed with a brilliant array of star constellations, the Landhotel Pferdeschulze is the right place
for you. Go ahead!

Our Motto..
you'll get out, what you put in! Only together can we rock the boat!

Hi!, I am Max, one of the managers of this family business. For many years we have had a
strong interest in promoting volunteering at the Landhotel Pferdeschulze, a nice way to
integrate, enjoy and learn from other cultures of the world.
If you have a great love for nature and animals, I have no doubt that we are the perfect place
for you, where you can fulfil your volunteering goals in a respectful, peaceful and pleasant
way.
Regarding the language, some of the staff speak English fluently, but if your goal is to learn
German while helping us, there are workers who only know German who are willing to help
you improve!
Finally, once you plan your trip to Wietzetze, I recommend going from Hamburg. There you
will need to take a train to Lüneburg, and from there you will see several buses that will drop
you off within an hour in the vicinity of the hotel. Nowadays in Germany there is a monthly
ticket with which you can travel on any public transport in the country, so you have no
problem taking the various transfers.
The Schulze family and the other volunteers are waiting for you!

A good team to work with and nice surrounding nature. You do get the agreed 2 days off but the hours are more 35+. Accomodation is very basic but the food provided is good. Communication is a bit confusing as there isn't much of a proper induction so can take a while to know what's required or who to ask. No guarantee that you'll get to ride horses but you do interact with them quite a lot and they're lovely.

The experience in the hotel was really nice, the job was easy, the horses are so calm and nice to be around. The area is perfect to be disconnected from the city life and great to be around

I had a really nice experience here. Staying at the farm gave me the opportunity to meet people from different countries, experience a different way of life and spend time working with horses. I'm grateful for the time I spent here and for all the people I met along the way. I would recommend this experience to anyone who wants to travel, meet new people and try something different.

I truly enjoyed my time there. The tasks were pretty easy and well explained. Don't worry if you don't have any experience with horses. People in the stables were always friendly and helpful. And of course the volunteering team was awesome. I had so much fun with them.
I would definitely recommend this place.

I had a great time at this project. I learned a lot about horses and even got the chance to try horse riding.

The people made the experience even better. I was lucky to work with Kevin, Alex, and the whole stable team—they were all friendly and welcoming.

It was also a great place to improve my German. The food was delicious, and the peaceful countryside was a perfect break from city life.

The only thing to keep in mind is the working hours. Sometimes they were longer than the agreed 6 hours a day. Apart from that, I had a great experience and would recommend this place.
