Correctly sharpened, that is well-honed and set scythes are prerequisites for successful mowing. A correctly set scythe, that means it is adapted to the body, combined with the optimal body movement, prevents body damage and can even release tension. In the course you will be shown and practiced the most effective methods of setting, peeling and mowing. You will receive theoretical knowledge and ample opportunity for practical exercises under the guidance of experienced scythe teachers and scythe teachers. Various types of scythe are introduced, which bring good results even in difficult mowing situations and make work easier.

How do I say it right?

As a "scythe teacher" and "instructor of the scythe teachers", I am also trained in addition to the technique, to present difficult connections in an easy, vivid and clear way. Exercises and individual coaching deepen the skills of the students.
