    Description

    We are Lea and Fredi, a curious nature-loving couple with an old farmhouse in the beautiful nature of the Bavarian Alps. For over two years, we have been renovating the traditional wooden farmhouse with a lot of our own work, ecological and local materials and old building techniques. Surrounding us is a nature reserve, an untouched piece of alpine landscape where many rare plants and an intact animal world can be found: we have wild orchids, an old orchard with apple and pear trees, many birds and even deer that come right up to the house. We are committed to a welcoming, positive and open-minded lifestyle and a sharing society, we enjoy new experiences and love to make deep connections to new friends from all over the world!

    We can host for about 4-5 days over a weekend, as we both are working in our jobs during the week. We are looking forward to welcoming you with a smile :):)

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We are very interested in getting to know other cultures and try new experiences. We are also happy to share our culture, we enjoy cooking with products from the organic farmers around us or we can teach people how to bake traditional German bread or how to prepare Kässpätzle. Fredi is an architect and can teach you if you are interested, also help with craftsmanship is very welcome :) Lea can explain a lot about local herbs, plants and wildlife, or you can have a yoga session together.

  • Help

    Help

    We enjoy good company and getting to know new people and their stories. As we no longer travel much around the world ourselves with our farm and three cats, the world is welcome to come and visit us! In addition, any helping hand around our old house and the garden and nature around it is of course welcome: perhaps you have some manual skills or knowledge about nature and the garden. As we heat with wood, help with the firewood is very welcome, but also helping us clean the house is a great help. We enjoy cooking together as a group and love to get to know the authentic cuisines of foreign countries.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Our home is located between Kempten and Füssen at an altitude of almost 1000 meters in the Allgäu Alps on the edge of a village in an absolutely secluded location. Our village is the starting point for numerous hikes and bike tours, cross-country skiing is nearby. The nearest lakes are only a few 100 meters away. We have a lot of snow during winter, so be prepared for cold weather :) There is a small train station in the village from which you can travel to Kempten and from there on to Munich. There is also a bus connection to Neuschwanstein Castle, you can visit it as a day trip from our place.
