  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We live in the area called Westerwald, approx. 60 km east of Bonn. The Rhine Valley with the cities of Cologne and Bonn with their entire cultural life are about 1 hour (good train connection) from here. Here you can enjoy the beautiful landscape of the Westerwald and the Sieg-valley, go on excursions, visit old mines.
  We are a family in which music determines a large part of life, especially folk music from all over Europe, historical instruments. We also have a piano for open use.

  Help

  In 2020 we renovatet the barnhouse beside our house. This is to be converted into a workshop for making musical instruments.
  From time to time we need help to keep our large house, property and garden in good condition.
  
  We are looking for helping hands, especially for supportive activities related to gardening, making firewood. We look forward to helpers with manual skills, interest in helping in the house and garden, independence and openness. In the past we had very good experienses with workawayer couples. We are always open to guests in our house, are cosmopolitan, and culturally interested.
