    Description

    We Gertrude (and Rudolf) live on a small farm (4 ha meadows + as much forest) in the middle of nature.
    There would be some garden areas which are already pretty wild and enough work in and around the house.
    Currently only our former children's room is ready to accommodate guests (1 bunk bed)
    In summer there is also a simple garden house as a sleeping place available.
    Recent work, see the German text

    A big request we would have:

    If we appeal to you to request, says quickly know when you can not come.
    So we can make room for other guests freely. - THANK YOU

    We try our lives by Christian principles align - that you should not bother.

    Da unser Sohn mit seiner Familie im Sommer 2018 ins Haus gezogen sind, stehen zur Zeit nur mehr unser ehemaliges Kinderzimmer bereit,Gäste aufzunehmen (1 Stockbett).
    Im Sommer steht auch ein einfaches Gartenhaus als Schlafplatz zur Verfügung.

    Wir versuchen unser Leben nach christlichen Grundsätzen auszurichten - das sollte Dich nicht stören.

    - gemeinsam einige Räume aufräumen
