Description
We are a young wood and forest business that works ecologically concsious and fair to sustain the local forests as well as provide local businesses with wood that is used in its entirety for example as construction material as well as source for heating, etc. In 2022 we took over an old sawmill from the retiring owner and are running it as a family business again.
As it is with many new projects we have more work than hands to do it so we try to gather family, friends and workawayers to help.
We had great experiences with workawayers from a neighbour and enjoyed the aspect of cultural exchange - as it is more difficult for us to travel at the moment, we enjoy inviting „the world“ into our village.

We live in a rural area that is perfect for hiking, climbing and biking, for spending time in the forest and finding little wells to jump into in summer. You also could forage for berries and mushrooms.
