Description
We, Daniela and Josch, have been living in Sweden for 15 years. Our life here in the forest offers us an alternative to our former life in the city in Germany.
Nature and absolute peace and quiet, self-realization in building projects, in the garden and in the forest. We grow our own vegetables, work in the forest and make
firewood, .... but have also enjoyed organizing youth camps and trips ourselves in the summer for many years.
As we live on a very large site, there is always something to do.
In the last 3 years, we have built 2 tiny houses and renovated an old circus wagon.
Forest work is on the program for spring 2026 and we are looking for people who can handle a chainsaw. The plan is to clear 5 hectares of forest.
But there are also projects such as painting our vacation homes with the famous red Swedish paint.
You will live in a cozy wooden cabin with cooking facilities and a wood stove, where you can take care of yourself.
In your free time you can go fishing and canoeing, the nearest small store is 4 km away, we live about 70 km southeast of Gothenburg.
Couples or friends are welcome.
Wir, Daniela und Josch wohnen seit 15 Jahren in Schweden. Unser Leben hier im Wald bietet uns die Alternative zum früherern Leben in der Stadt in Deutschland.
Natur und absolute Ruhe, Selbstverwirklichung in baulichen Projekten, im Garten und im Wald. Wir bauen selber Gemüse an, arbeiten im Wald und machen
Brennholz, .... aber organisieren im Sommer seit vielen Jahren Jugendfreizeiten und Reisen auch gerne selber.
Da wir auf einem sehr grossen Gelände wohnen, gibt es bei uns immer etwas zu tun.
Die letzten 3 Jahre haben wir 2 Tinyhäuser gebaut und einen alten Zirkuswagen renoviert.
Für das Frühjahr 2026 ist Waldarbeit auf dem Programm.Wir suchen Leute die mit der Motorsäge umgehen können. Es sollen 5 Ha Wald ausgelichtet werden.
Es gibt aber auch Projekte wie das Streichen unserer Ferienhäuser mit der berühmten roten Schweden Farbe.
Du wohnst in einer gemütlichen Holzhütte mit eine Kochgelegenheit und einem Holzofen.Wo du dich selber versorgen kannst
In deiner Freizeit kannst du angeln und Kanu fahren.Der nächste kleine Einkaufsladen ist 4 km entfernt.Wir wohnen ca. 70 km südöstlich von Göteborg.
Gerne Paare oder Freunde.
