  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    One of the main reasons we enjoy hosting is the opportunity for cultural exchange and mutual learning. We believe that sharing everyday life, stories, traditions, and perspectives creates meaningful connections that go far beyond travel itself.

    When you stay with us, we will have plenty of chances to interact — whether by cooking and sharing meals together, exploring local places, exchanging language skills, or simply talking about our different experiences and cultures. You will also have the chance to learn about the Bavarian Forest and its people, as well as join us in creative activities such as sculpting, painting, photography, or even astronomy. We are happy to introduce you to local customs, traditions, and hidden gems in the area, and we also love learning from the backgrounds and ideas of our guests.

    For us, hosting is not just about offering accommodation, but about creating an open space for dialogue, curiosity, and friendship. We hope to learn new skills, gain fresh perspectives on the world, and grow personally through the stories and knowledge that visitors bring with them.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    The next bigger towns are Passau and Regensburg, both have a beautiful medieval old center. About 1 hour travel by train or car.
    Munich is 2 hours away.
    We live near the Czech Republic border, not far from Pilsen or medieval Klattau. Prague is 2 hours away.
    You can get to the next village easily by walking (10 minutes) or by us (we have two cars) or by bus. We also have several bicycles. The next town and railwaystation is 9 km away.

    The National Park Bavarian Forest is next to us (4 km), For further information and all possible activities concerning the BAVARIAN FOREST you will find a lot on the internet. Look for "Bavarian Forest National Park".

    "Let nature be nature!“ is the philosophy of the Bavarian Forest National Park. Nowhere else between the Atlantic Ocean and the Ural Mountains is such a large area of forests and moors allowed to grow and develop without the interference of man, into a unique landscape of primeval forest, a true “wilderness”.
