Description
Dear guests,
we would like to welcome you to our beautiful house in Wechselburg (Saxony), a small village in Central Saxony on the Mulde River, with many opportunities to hike, relax, get away from it all and enjoy nature.
My sister Katharina and I (Susi) bought the house in 2021 and have been working since then to renovate the house so that we can soon live in it.
In this house we would like to offer, when it is ready, various opportunities to live out creatively, with painting, pottery, in the kitchen and in the garden.
Since we work beside the renovation of the house in Leipzig and/or Goettingen and look for energetic support with our "small project".
There is a lot to do in house and garden: clay plastering, cooking, gardening, wallpapering, laying floors and much more...
We offer own rooms for sleeping and working together, eating and cooking for cultural exchange and harmonious together.
We hope to meet you soon in person and look forward to working and living together,
Susi and Katharina

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Wechselburg offers the opportunity to get out of the hectic city life to enjoy nature and country air, hike, relax, breathe deeply.
We would like to get into cultural exchange with you through language, games, conversations, shared meals and work, so that we can learn from and with each other.
Furthermore, we offer joint activities in Wechselburg (and Leipzig) and look forward to working with you on creative projects in and around the house.

Accommodation
We offer our guests own rooms in the house for sleeping.
WC facilities (toilet, sink and shower) are in the house.
Together with you we would like to plan, cook and eat meals. We will take over the costs for the food. In Wechselburg there is currently no supermarket, but various small stores (baker, butcher, etc...).
For larger purchases, we would go alone or with you to the nearest town and get what is needed.
What else ...
Wechselburg offers a beautiful old monastery with monastery garden and various herbs. A hike to the Rochlitzer Berg and in the Mulde valley to relax and let the wind blow around your nose. The classic village life.
Together with you we can also start first common creative works like painting/drawing and pottery. We are also looking forward to evenings with you, where we can barbecue, play, eat and exchange with each other.
Away from Wechselburg, there will certainly be an opportunity to see Leipzig, a trade fair city in Saxony with many sights and opportunities for partying and shopping.
Wechselburg is located a bit off the beaten track, in the middle of nature, the nearest train station is 10 min by car.
