  Description

  Hey there beautiful people of the world!
  We are a family of 5 people, living in a small village on the quiet countryside of Germany. About 20 minutes away from the cultural, artistic and historical sites of Thuringia, Weimar and Auerstedt. The village of interest, named Koedderitzsch, has got a population of 130 people and is surrounded by fields and some nativ Forrest.
  We are living in a big 200 years old farm house, witch used to have pigs, cows, chickens and rabbits...now there is just one cat left, called Luna. We are# living an alternative, organic and healthy way of life, mostly based on vegetarian food, fresh made juice everyday and lots of smiles and love.
  Since more than 20 years my wife and me run a small alternative medical center in the neighbor village, 2 km away from Koedderitzsch. Our son Paul, who inspired us to open those new opportunities on workaday, traveled and worked around the world the whole last year. He is gonna be your main contact person during your stay.
  The project itself, is a big old farm house wich wants to be renovated. It’s a 2 min walk from our current home and located in front of a 2 ha garden, including organic agriculture, lots of fruit trees, several small lakes and Forrest.
