Ringelland was founded in 2008 by Mr and Mrs Ringel, together with their sons. Mr and Mrs Ringel worked as caretakers in zoological gardens (Dvůr Králové, Jihlava) and later as trainers of exotic animals in a circus. A large number of different animals has entered the family‘s life in nearly fifty years. However, the family’s greatest successes were in the training and breeding of big cats. The Ringel family has toured with their animals not only in the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic, but also in Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and in the former Soviet Union. Every day spent in the company of animals brings a lot of unrepeatable experiences, which the Ringel family is happy to share with you.
