What an amazing ten or so days. This was my second Workaway experience and it was a proper adventure throughout. Görlitz and Bautzen are two cities within bracing but comfortable cycling distance (1.5 hours) from Buchholz.

I am massively grateful to Martin, Martina and the many other good people who live at the Buchholz place. I have never been… read more

Martina and Martin have such a lovely family and a great heart!
I arrived very ill there and they give me all I needed to get well.
Beside their Ferienwohnungen,they are involved in several Charity projects,like help for the refugees in Bautzen,or a Foundation in Tanzania.
Really admirable.
Many greetings from my heart.

I don't think they could be any nicer. During our stay my son and me felt as a part of there family, unfortunately we didn't stay very long. But we came back for a second time and that probably was not the last time.

I spent almost 6 weeks with the family, and it was a great and enjoyable time. I quickly felt as a part of the family, and had fun all the way. I'm especially glad for the time I spent with the children, it left me with many warmhearted memories I can look back at.
I hope I will see you again one day, hopefully I'll be completely fluent in German… read more

We spent two weeks at this family's lovely farm in Buchholz, a little town in Eastern Saxony. We felt like part of the family instantly, and enjoyed every minute of staying with them. The work was enjoyable and easy-going and in the afternoons, we ate cake, A LOT!
There are some beautiful walks to be had around this area, with the pilgrimage… read more
