    Description

    Hello everyone,
    we are a small, midage family with a daughter of 11. We are renovating our very old mill that we bought in 2020. 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 are happy to network and create together. Mostly four of us live here - with many visitors every now and then. We are orientated ecological and spiritual, for example we have an 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 :-)
