    Description

    We are a family of five living on a large property right in the heart of Schleswig-Holstein. Our land borders a forest on one side and a moor on the other. We are situated almost exactly in the geographical center of Schleswig-Holstein. The city of Hamburg is reachable in about 1 to 1.5 hours, while the journey to Denmark is slightly shorter. The Baltic Sea is just a 30-minute drive away, and it takes about an hour to reach the North Sea.

    We have a deep love for nature and are constantly working to make our property more beautiful year after year. We have already built an outdoor kitchen and a sauna, and we grow some of our own fruits and vegetables, as well as keeping sheep and chickens.

    So, if you are eager to roll up your sleeves and pitch in—whether to help create something new or to help maintain what is already here—please don't hesitate to get in touch! We look forward to getting to know you.

    Wir sind eine 5-köpfige Familie und leben auf einem großen Grundstück mitten in Schleswig-Holstein. Das Grundstück liegt direkt am Wald und zur anderen Seite grenzt es an ein Moor. Wir ziemlich genau mittig in Schleswig-Holstein. Die Großstadt Hamburg ist in ca.1-1,5 Stunden zu erreichen.  Etwas kürzer ist es nach Dänemark. Die Ostsee ist in ca. 30 Minuten zu erreichen und zur Nordsee benötigt man ca. 1 Stunde.

    Bei uns hast du die Möglichkeit in den Sommermonaten in zwei aneinandergestellten Bauwagen zu leben. Dort gibt es ein Schlafzimmer, ein Badezimmer mit Komposttoilette und eine Küche/ Aufenthaltsraum. Hier kannst du dir einen Tee oder Kaffe zubereiten, eine Kleinigkeit kochen. Es gibt außerdem eine kleine Spüle für den kleinen Abwasch oder zum Händewaschen. Somit hättest du einen kleinen Rückzugsort für dich. Für alles andere steht dir natürlich unser Haus zur Verfügung. Hier wollen wir gemeinsame Zeit verbringen, Mahlzeiten zubereiten und gemeinsam essen oder einfach eine schöne Zeit verbringen.

    Wir lieben die Natur und richten uns unser Grundstück von Jahr zu Jahr schöner her. Wir haben uns bereits eine Außenküche und eine Sauna gebaut. Wir bauen etwas Gemüse und Obst an und halten Schafe und Hühner.

    Bei der Pflege des Grundstücks und der Tiere sowie bei der Umsetzung unserer weiteren Bauideen könnten wir gut Hilfe gebrauchen.

    Wenn du also Lust hast mit uns gemeinsam anzupacken und hier etwas neues zu erschaffen, oder altes zu pflegen dann melde dich sehr gern bei uns. Wir freuen uns dich oder euch kennen zu lernen.

    Accommodation

    During the summer months, you have the opportunity to stay with us in two converted construction trailers set up side-by-side. Inside, you will find a bedroom, a bathroom equipped with a composting toilet, and a combined kitchen and living area. Here, you can brew yourself some tea or coffee, or cook up a light meal. There is also a small sink available for washing dishes or simply washing your hands. This setup provides you with a cozy little private retreat of your own. Naturally, our main house is also available for your use for anything else you might need. This is where we like to spend time together—preparing and sharing meals, or simply enjoying each other's company.
