    Description

    Hello everyone,
    we are a small, midage family with a daughter of 8. Our very old mill that we bought in 2020 is in need of restauration in every corner. We have a place in beautiful nature, in the very south of Thuringia, near the former border of the two Germanys. There is a garden, 2 horses, chickens, ducks and cats :-)
    We are a hospitable family who is happy to network and create together. Mostly three of us live here - with many visitors every now and then. We are orientated ecological and spiritual, for example we want to build an earth sweat lodge in the garden. Ulfhild goes to work part-time, Gerhard is running groups in shamanic healing, sweat lodges, vision quest, mens circles, astrology, individual coaching and so on.
    We are looking forward to you to have a good time together :-)
