Description
We live in a very idyllic high valley of the southern Black Forest. My 15 years old daughter is sometimes in my house. We need help in the household, in the garden and in various horticulture and especially house building projects. We also built a legendary path with black forest sagas. Now we have to take care for it. Cutting grass, removing trees,...
If you like children and nature, you are very welcome with us. Food is paid for. Because we do have chicken, we eat their eggs and we do eat meat produced in our region. We can adapt to vegetarians but not to vegans.
Wir leben in einem sehr idyllisch gelegenen Hochtal des südlichen Schwarzwaldes. Meine 15-jährige Tochter ist manchmal mir. Wir brauchen Hilfe im Haushalt, im Garten und bei verschiedenen Gartenbau- und Hausbauprojekten. Desweiteren bauten wir einen Sagenweg mit Schwarzwaldsagen, der nun fertig ist und lediglich der Pflege bedarf.
Wenn Du Kinder und die Natur gerne magst, bist Du bei uns herzlich willkommen. Für die Verpflegung wird gesorgt.
Wir haben Eier von unseren Hühnern und essen Fleisch aus heimischer Produktion.
Bei Vegetarischer Kost können wir gut übereinkommen, bei veganer Kost nicht.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We grow up herbs, fruits and vegetables in a traditional way. We only take solar and wood from our own forest. We also care for a trail built for children and families. Here we want to show tourists the culture and the nature of the black forest. It would be very interesting for you, if you want to hear the very old stories and sagas of the black forest.
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
I´m the organizer of a legendary path through our valley that tells stories about people, who were living here 400 years ago.
My 14-years-old daughter lives with me about 30 %. She does not like me cooking, because it´s not the best of my qualities. I´m looking for someone, who likes children and animals, probably would be able to cook and who would either prefer working with hands in the garden and do building :-)

I was very happy, having him around. I gave him different jobs and he was always open to get the patterns, how the job has to be finished. He told me, when he was unsure to manage the job and after explaining, it was nice to see, that he has got an uncomplicated way to react.
