  Description

  We operate a household in Lahemaa national park in Estonia. Our house locates on a shore of the famous migratory bird staging area. So, fresh breeze, great sunsets and a lot of untouched nature are surrounding us.
  
  We need help restoring our old and large log-house that was originally built in 1884 as a guest house for those who stayed in nearby Vergi harbor. If you are interested and fit for restoration works, then you are welcome. The first stage is to dismantle old interiors and the logical next steps are to follow.
  
  The second project is about gardening. We have established a field for organic vegetables incl potatoes, carrots, cabbages, etc. There are apple trees, plum, and cherry trees that require attention.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Well, since we locate in the center of a most preserved and untouched region - a national park, then perhaps you can imagine what to expect - many nature trails in forests, go fishing to rivers, lakes, and sea.
  Within a radius of 15 kilometers, there are 3 well-preserved manors to explore: Vihula, Palmse, and Sagadi. In addition, there are famous fishing villages that have maintained hundreds of years of history and traditions to enjoy. Võsu with its large white sanded beach is a great location to swim and sunbathe. All the weekends are packed with concerts, theatres, exhibitions for all tastes. No time to feel bored.
