Hallo,
my name is Anngret. After 13 years travelling around as a pottery craftsman, babysitting and studying design in England I went back to my home town. I live together with my family in a huge house at the border of the forest and the little village Wildenau. The house is surrounded by a big garden. We are four people and four generations under one roof, living in seperate housholds; there is my grandmother (84), my mother (60), my son (13) and me (38) and two cats. My son and I are living in one flat.
I m running a pottery atelier in the house, where you can join me if you like.

On my travels around the world as a ceramist craft woman and living in England for 2 1/2 years I was hosted by most different communities and met most different people. This stage of life was very exciting for me and for this reason I welcome foreigners and I am excited to get to know you and your stories.
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Three days a week we start the day at 9 o clock with preparing breakfast for me and my grandmother. We are cooking lunch for all members of the family. You are free to prepare lunch for us at several days of the week. We use to eat altogether. If you have special food wishes let me know.
I have always lots of ongoing building projects for my home, where I need help. Depending on your skills and preferences you will do different work around the house, manage simple tasks, produce hand made soap. During the warm seasons we also need help with the general maintenance of the garden.
As an exchange for helping around the house I can introduce you into my work as a potter. There you can learn a bit about my handcraft produce some small objects for yourself and have a try on the pottery wheel.

This host offers a language exchange
We would like to talk in English, German and French with you.
We have a bright, spacious and cosy guest room with a balcony surrounded by the forest. On the high bed, built out of tree trunks, are two matresses and another one underneath. There is a little cupboard where you can make your own tea and coffee.
This is the perfect place for activities in the nature like hiking, cycling and jogging.
Most beautiful destinations are;
- beautiful public bath which is open during the summer time (5 min.)
- a very old and facinating, giant conifer (30 min.)
- several stone quarries (30 - 60 min.)
Once a week I join a Yoga group and you are welcome to participate for free.
To reach the next town where you have connection to public transport, you can go by bus() bike (15min.) or I can give you a lift for short destinations.
