    Hey ho and Moin! ;)

    First of all:
    We prefer to invite workawayers for max. two or three weeks and not longer. So we can be a better host for you. Thank you!;)

    We live in an old Farminghouse nearby Lübeck and the baltic sea. Our Familymembers are eight chicken, our cat, our dog, two children, Dennis and Anja.
    We have in our vegetablegarden one finished raised bed and one which is nearly finished to put on seeds and plants. In the same time we renovate our big, old house. Everything goes slowly right now, because we want to have fun, passion and peace with that work. And with two small children and our jobs, we don't manage to finish many projects at the moment ;).
    We have some guestsheeps on our grounds each summer.

    Dennis is working 4 long days a week. Anja is working one long day a week and is most of the time at home and is looking forward to work with you together. As long she is able to do that work with taking care of the Kids and the houshold in same time ;).

    If you're interested in staying with us, just send a message, we can chat about all the conditions you have and what we can offer you. Maybe there is also something we didn't think about yet ;).
    We're looking forward to your visit!;)

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We're looking forward to broaden our horizons, with having different guests from different places. Having a chat about your life and your homeculture. We like to learn new skills, but also show you what we know...We like to show how we live and show you our beautiful landscape with people, towns and villages we know.

  • Help

    Help

    First of all you have to know that our house and property is our heart- and lifeprojekt. We try to do everything on our own. That's why we need so long time.
    The workawayers are welcome to learn or try to do the work with us together and are not forced to work perfect.
    All the things we know, we're not able to do, like fixing our roof, we get help from locally paid tradespeople.

    But maybe there is something you'ld like to help us with ;) :

    - renovate a room for the kids (is an very urgent point for us)
    - help in the garden, for example: cut the hedges, "tidy up" our wild corners in the garden, give our raised beds something to grow in ;)
    - help in the household
    - help fixing and creating things in our home
    ...or maybe you have an idea of something on the property or house which needs to be done by you ;).

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    We have different possibilities to live with us. We have a nice small Guestroom, a really cool old and big Campingtend in the garden or you're lucky and our guestflat is free. In the House we don't have any heater, just ovens (in the guestflat and our livingrooms). We have a big kitchen for cooking together or preparing food on your own. We're happy if everyone feels home with us ;).
    Of course, if you want to, you could bring your own tent or campingvan too.

    ATTENTION:
    In Wintertime we have problems to offer heated rooms. Because we're not able to heat our flat properly, we usely move to the guestflat in wintertime. The rest of the house is very very cold in Winter.

    If you bring your autark home with you, we can offer you electricity and wood to make it cosy ;).

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Our village is very small and located in farmland and nature. Nearby is a nice forest, which is perfect for a walk. We live in a good area for biketours. Our village is close to Luebeck (13km), which is an old hanseatic city. In Lübeck you can enjoy cultural life and buy eyerything which you don't get in Ahrensbök. Ahrensbök is the next town (8km) and has supermarkets and a pharmacy. The baltic sea is about 17km away from us.
    We could borrow you a bike. One kilometer from us is a bus leaving to Luebeck a few times a day. Or we go somewhere together with our car ;).
