  Description

  animal hotel
  
  our farm is situated alone and content in nowhere land directly in front of the north sea dyke.
  
  When leaving civilisation you can find us via Wesselburen train station, this is north from Heide. We can pick you up from there or its a beautiful 5 km jog .
  
  We, that is Olga, Frederic, Merlin, Celia and usually other helpers, animate and create this place for animals in sync with nature. Its a place where we let nature take its own course.
  
  To be more precise we have 5 sheep, geese, around 25 chickens, the best ducks in the world, birds, hedgehogs, spiders, worms, a 12 strong pack of cats, including both wild and house cats.
  
  We will never call our animals lifestock, this robs them of their rights as animals. We dont make animal products But sometimes we eat the avaliable eggs.
  
  The animals here run free, they are here voluntarily, we do not use fencing. We try to let the geese and ducks fly again (and we also try to fly ourselves).
  
  It is importatnt that you have a feel for nature and ofcourse are respectfull with animals. When living here you will also be a part of the nature.
  
  Along side the daily tasks of feeding the animals, clearing the stables and maintainence, we would love to hear your ideas. Woodwork, buildig insect and bird houses, building plant beds, a herb garden, fencing and loooo0ts of gardening :).We are passively supported by a few local supermarkets. A part of the work here is sorting out food . Jobs such as cleaning and clearing out cat toilets shouldn't be a big problem for you! We provide a warm bed, wood oven, books, piano, gitarre, wind, sea, sun. Languages german, english and spanish. Vegan food is possible.
  
  We look forward to seeing you soon!
