  Description

  Hallo, i am Xaver, a Ranger and Forester in the forest close to the famous and nice city Regensburg. I am searching for help for my big private forest house garden for private purpose.
  It's inside a nature protected district (Mattinger Hänge) with a lot of nature, hiking ways, caves... You will have a lot of options to relax and get in touch with nature. The village and the station (Gundelshausen) is just 1000 meters away, there are also 2 very good, traditional, bavarian Restaurants. Here in the village is also the big Donau River, with nice options for swimming. In my house an at my ground i have a lot of good sleeping options, also a few outdoor beds outside, to get more in touch with the forest. I am working also as nature guide, i can show you all of the nice spots and places here, explain you the medical plants, the trees and the ecological system and we have also a lot of sights and old castles here. The city Regensburg is very close, it is a very nice city for people who like the unesco protected old town center, the famous old bridge and also there is a lot of good pubs, traditional restaurants and whatever you want. It's one of the most nice cities in germany for students, with a lot of young people who like to making friends, doing activties, going climbing or visiting one of the pubs. I speak English, Espanol and German and looking forward to have an nice, friendly and respectfull exchange with new people and of course i need help with the work in my little private nature parc here around the forest house. I am a very guestfriendly host and my house is like a cabin in the bavarian mountains. My family comes from there and i have also this old, bavarian mentality of the mountains, where the life is tough but the heart warm and big. A lot Greetings Xaver

  I have a lot of good and comfortable guest beds in an own room for my guests in my forest house and also a lot very nice and cozy outdoor beds here on the ground. I have free WIFI in the house.

  What else ...

  Station Gundelshausen (a. d. Donau) 1000 meters distance from the forest house. This is the next connection. Here you can go in 12 minutes by train to Regensburg. Also you can go by the train the other direction to Ingolstadt. In both of this big cities you have a lot of train connections and bus connections for all directions in europe. Next airport's are München (MUC) or Nürnberg (both aprox 1,5 h Distance by train.)
  
  I have a very guestfriendly, world open mentality and often i have visitors. I will have a lot of time the next 3 months and in this time i am every day at home more or less. I take this time to finish my work here on my ground and for the forest house, before the winter is coming. For me respect is important and if i say No this means no. Also if i give my visitors some advice about the stay in the forest, this is very important to follow. For example to be carefull with fire and things like this. Because we are here in a nature protected district in the forest, not everybody knows about how to act in the nature. It's just meaned in a good way, for me, for you, the nature and the neighboors.
