  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    You will have your own room in the house, either in ground floor or upper floor (you choose!). We‘ll have lunch together: fresh eggs for breakfast and yummy grilled meat direct from the farm, and also fresh milk from happy cows. We‘ll share the bathroom in the ground floor. There are different terraces with grill to comfortably hang out. I live in the outskirts of the village, so chill time is guaranteed.

    We will cook together to teach you a little about German cuisine.

    –––

    Du bekommst dein eigenes Zimmer im Haus, freie Wahl im Erdgeschoss oder im Obergeschoss. Die Mahlzeiten nehmen wir gemeinsam ein: frische Eier zu Frühstück und leckeres Fleisch für den Grill kommen direkt vom Hof, und auch frische Milch von glücklichen Kühen. Es steht ein Gemeinschafts Bad zur Verfügung. Es gibt mehrere Terrassen mit Grill zum verweilen. Ich wohne am Rande vom Dorf wo Ruhe zum entspannen garantiert ist.

    Wir werden zusammen kochen um die deutsche Küche ein wenig zu vermitteln .

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    It's nice to explore the area by bike: there are lots of forests, lakes (I have a rowing boat or electric boat), stud farms, farms, museums, etc. There are also lovely towns like Plau am See, with a lovely marina and delicious fish sandwiches. The Baltic Sea, Warnemünde and Rostock are just a stone's throw away by car.

    A train station is a 20-minute walk away, with connections to Berlin and Hamburg. On your days off, I can drive you to the train station and pick you up again by arrangement.

    –––

    Es ist schön die Umgebung mit dem Rad zu erkunden: es gibt viele Wälder, Seen (ich habe ein Ruder- beziehungsweise Elektroboot), Gestüte, Bauernhöfe, Museen, etc. Außerdem gibt‘s schöne Städte, wie Plau am See, mit einen schönen Yachthafen und leckeren Fischbrötchen. Die Ostsee, Warnemünde und Rostock sind mit dem PKW ein Katzensprung entfernt.

    20 Minuten Fußweg ist ein Bahnhof, mit Verbindungen Richtung Berlin und Hamburg. An deinen freien Tagen kann ich dich gerne zum Bahnhof fahren und nach Absprache wieder abholen.
