Description
Hello,
After traveling through Europe in a van for a year and a half and doing Workaway, we bought an old mill in the Eifel in 2020.
Helge and I work as freelancers. He's online a lot and takes care of our water mill, I'm training to be a permaculture designer and designing our garden.

Help
Craftsmen and those interested in gardening are always welcome ;) Especially if you are familiar with clay construction, lime plaster, and the restoration of old houses. But there are also smaller jobs in the garden, such as creating a keyhole bed, a raised potato bed, and a wild bee hotel. And of course: unfortunately also the normal weeding :)
Languages spoken
German: Fluent
English: Intermediate
Accommodation
We have a vacation home that you have to yourself. With bathroom, bedroom, wifi, kitchen. But you are welcome to eat with us.
What else ...
To be honest: we are quite rural here. In the village there is a supermarket, hairdresser, restaurants within walking distance. But it's in the Eifel and if you want to go to Cologne, Trier, Koblenz (all about an hour away) you need a car. But we are in a wonderful nature here. A huge nature reserve is within walking distance. And if you are mobile, then there are wonderful hiking trails around the extinct volcanoes of the Eifel.
