Beschreibung
We, Thomas and Katharina, are a happy couple of worldtravellers who came home from a worldtrip on motorbikes some years ago and now live in a small, 200 year old, cottage with 5000 squaremeters of land in Northern Germany some km away from the Baltic sea in the beautiful landscape of Angeln.
You can read about our trip -ask us for our links
If you like animals ( we live with a wonderful, friendly dog and two cats), walking, biking, surfing, swimming, kayaking etc... you are very welcome to join our wooden guesthouse in the garden or sleep in the caravan. We eat vegetarian, speak German, English, some Spanish and little French and we love to meet people from everywhere! We will cook and eat together and invite you to be part of the family.
As our house is pretty old, there was a lot of renovation work to do, when we bought it. In the meantime it has improved very much, but still your building skills could be needed! ☺️
On our land we planted some fruit trees and with the kind help of many hands we have started the organic veggie garden during the summer of 2017. Lot of work to do there :-)
We like music and dancing, meeting friends, sit around a campfire, we have our own little pottery workshop and more birds around then neighbours. Next shopping possibilities and train station is about 4km away and you can use our bicycle to get there or to the closeby (6km) fjord of Schlei for a refreshing swim after work...Arten von Hilfe und Lernmöglichkeiten

Arbeit
In the renovation of our little farmhouse we try to use only natural materials to make the house a healthy and sustainable place. In 2017 we renewed the roof including solar panels, later we built insulation, walls and floors for the new rooms in the upper story, got new windows, all with many helping hands.
The last two years went by with tearing down the old bathroom-part of the house and building it completely new. Lot of additional space now and a second bathroom!
The garden still needs a lot of attention - every year the veggie part grows a bit.
To help us with our outside projects we bought a more then 50 year-old tractor, that needs technical and optical renovation and a new shelter...
In 2023 we have built the roof on the new part of the house and we are now finishing the last room in the upper story.Sprachen

You will sleep in a cosy wooden guesthouse of about 12 m2 in the garden, with one large bed, internet connection and sunset view ;-), where we lived in the beginning of our project, when the whole house was still construction area. If the guesthouse is occupied we have additional space in a caravan for two people. You will use the new bathroom in the main house.
In our nice little kitchen we invite you to cook and eat with us.
If the weather allows it you can relax in the garden in the hammock after work.Was noch ...
In summer you can go to the fjord "Schlei", which is 6 km to go by bicycle or to the Baltic sea, which is about 15 km to go, the nice little town of Kappeln provides many nice fish restaurants, you can get to Flensburg by train or to Schleswig by bus. Both towns have many cultural events like medieval markets, Viking handcraft exhibitions or music festivals during the summer time. The Angeln landscape is perfect for bike tours, if the weather spirits decide to show their friendly faces..
