Welcome to the Wild West!
We are a seven people aged between 19 and 35 plus 5 horses, 5 dogs, chicken and a goat who live together on the site of a Western village, which was built for a movie set a few years ago. The place belongs to the government but we have an agreement with them that we are allowed to use some of the Western city houses for living and in return we maintain the place and open it for visitors. Since that takes up a lot of time we need help with everything else, which does not concern the visitors but our personal issues (cooking, gardening, making firewood, caring for our animals,...).
In our free time we love to go to the nearby lakes, sit together in the tipi with a campfire, do a sweat-lodge in our self-built wigwam, make music together and enjoy the beautiful nature :)

At the moment we are building a dorm in one of the wooden cabins. Until it is finished you can sleep in our tipi, right by the campfire! There is also space for your own tent or a camper van. There are solar showers, portable toilets and free wifi available. Meals (breakfast and dinner) are included, we eat together in the saloon!
The Western city is best to reach with a car, there are several gravel roads leading up to it. We can also arrange to pick you up from somewhere. Please mind that you are in the middle of the nature, supermarkets and bus stops are not within walking distance! The closest towns are about 14km from us. There are beautiful lakes which are perfect for swimming in both towns! Also there are some canyons and caves on the area, which you can visit.
You should be aware that during the week the place is mostly calm with just a few visitors during the day but on the weekends we usually have a lot of visitors and quite often we host events like Cowboy Weekends with games for children, shooting competitions and live music. You don't have to participate if you don't want of course, but be prepared that it might be quite noisy.

Planty of space in front of the Western village. No water, no power for Van's and WoMo. You can use power and get water in the houses.
We have plenty of Animals here! Just let us know if you bring another animal with you. If it is Friendly and don't attack cats or chickens it is alright.
