Description
For 19 years we live here in the Malcantone, in a generous clearing, with a lot of self-sufficiency, in a simple and sustainable way.
Surrounded by forests and small streams, we live, Regina & Stefan in self-renovated stone houses.
We are happy to take care of our 4 goats and our 5 cats, grow vegetables, herbs, berries and other.
Life mainly takes place outside. There are no neighbors and you can only reach us on foot. Life in harmony with nature and a respectful handling of everything alive are very important to us.
Seit 19 Jahren leben wir hier im Malcantone, in einer grosszügigen Waldlichtung, mit viel Selbstversorgung, auf einfache und möglichst nachhaltige Weise.
Umgeben von Wäldern und kleinen Bächen wohnen wir, Regina & Stefan in selbst renovierten Steinhäusern.
Gerne pflegen wir unsere 4 Ziegen und unsere 5 Katzen, bauen Gemüse, Kräuter, Beeren und anderes an.
Das Leben spielt sich hauptsächlich draußen ab. Es gibt keine Nachbarn und du kannst uns nur zu Fuß erreichen. Das Leben in Harmonie mit der Natur und ein respektvoller Umgang mit allem Lebendigen sind uns sehr wichtig.Types of help and learning opportunities

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are pleased to share our experiences with gardening, medicinal herbs, food preservation, bread production, goat's milk products and other sustainability knowledge.
We like good conversations about philosophical and spiritual topics and we like to sing in our archadome.
A walk with the 5 goats through the wild forest is a nice change.
Due to the high environmental impact, it is difficult for us if you want to arrive by plane just to visit us.
Es freut uns unsere Erfahrungen mit Gartenarbeit, Heilkräutern, Konservierung von Lebensmitteln, der Herstellung von Brot, Ziegenmilchprodukten und anderes Wissen über die Nachhaltigkeit auszutauschen.
Wir mögen gute Gespräche über Philosophische und spirituelle Themen und wir singen gerne in unserem Archadom.
Ein Spaziergang mit den 5 Ziegen durch den wilden Wald ist eine schöne Abwechslung.
Aufgrund der hohen Umweltbelastung ist es für uns schwierig, wenn du mit dem Flugzeug anreisen willst, nur um uns zu besuchen.Help
