The right length for your shepherd's crook
Choosing the right stick length depends on your height and preferences. Here is a short guide to choosing the right length:
Standard length: 110-135 cm, ideal for most adults
Height: The pole length should be around 65-75% of your height. For 175 cm, we recommend a pole of 115-130 cm.
For children: Recommended length: 85 cm
For tall people: Recommended length: 150 cm
Adjust the length to your personal needs. Longer poles offer more support on flat trails, while shorter poles prove their worth on steep climbs.
Safety information
Material note: The walking pole is made of durable, high-quality wood. The hemp cord and metal tip ensure safety and stability on various surfaces.
Secure grip: The hemp cord loop provides a secure grip, especially on long hikes.
Care instructions
If necessary, clean the walking stick with a slightly damp cloth.
Avoid prolonged contact with water to protect the wood.
Check the metal tip regularly for wear and replace it if necessary.
Occasional re-oiling of the wood increases its longevity and preserves its natural beauty.

Use under adult supervision recommended.
Take care when using the metal tip on sensitive surfaces to avoid damage.
Care Instructions for Wooden Products
To ensure lasting enjoyment of our high-quality wooden items, we recommend regular and gentle care. Wood is a natural material – each piece is unique – and deserves special attention in daily use.
Cleaning
Never clean wooden products in the dishwasher. The combination of heat, moisture, and detergents can permanently damage the wood. Instead, wipe the surface with a damp cloth and a little mild dish soap. Dry thoroughly with a clean towel immediately afterward.
Drying
Do not leave wooden products wet or place them on a heat source. Always let them air dry while standing upright. This helps prevent warping or cracking.
Oiling
To keep the surface smooth and resilient, we recommend treating the wood regularly with a natural oil – such as cold-pressed linseed oil. The oil protects against moisture, enhances the wood grain, and gives it a warm appearance.
Apply the oil sparingly to the clean, dry surface using a soft cloth. Wipe off any excess after about 15 minutes and allow it to dry completely – ideally overnight.
Important Notes
- Avoid soaking in water for extended periods.
- Keep away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Oiled wood may darken slightly over time – this is a natural process.
With the right care, your wooden product will remain a durable and natural companion in everyday life. If you have questions or need product recommendations, we’re happy to help!
