  Description

  Hallo!
  We are looking for company and help in our old stone cabins, forest and terraces on the mountain side.
  Jannik (29) is working remotely four days per week for a company.
  Tina (26) is there as often as possible when she is not studying Biology in Germany or working as a nurse.
  
  You are looking for silence and relaxing in beautiful Nature? You like working in old ruins and discovering forgotten terraces? But also enjoy sunset on the roof terrace?
  Perfect!
  
  Location:
  
  German:
  Mitten im Wald liegt unser altes Haus das von uns nach und nach hergerichtet wird. Umgeben von ein paar Ruinen, ist Ruhe und wilde Natur immer da. Hin und wieder kommen ein paar Wandernde am Weg durch das Dorf.
  Der Weg ist nur mit mit Allrad befahrbar, zu Fuß ist man in 20 Minuten im Tal im Dorf unten (30 Minuten hoch).
  
  English:
  In the middle of the forest lies our old house, which we are gradually renovating. Surrounded by a few ruins, peace and wild nature are always present. Occasionally, a few hikers pass through the village on their way. The path is only accessible by a four-wheel drive vehicle. Alternatively, you can reach the parking lot in the valley walking. (Down 20 minutes, up 30 minutes)
