    Description

    Hi, we are Helmut and Claudia,
    living in a very rural surrounding with our 3 horses, 2 cats and a dog. At the moment we are working on a small neighborhood housing project. We can always use some help with cooking, gardening, general maintenance and assistance in wood constructions. The region we live in is ideal for people who like it quiet, hiking, cycling, outdoor activities. We love to meet new people and communicate, and bring the world into our house. If we have the time we also enjoy to make little trips to the mountains, cities or events in the region with our helping hands. On our property lives at the moment also one friend of us Anja with her cat.
    You will have a room in the ground floor of our house with your own shower and toilet.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    You will have your own room with a separate shower and toilet. The bathroom you usually don‘t have to share with someone. We are very proud of it because it is brand new but not totally finished yet. We normally take only one workawayer at a time. Rarely couples or two friends. You will also have your own coffee machine, water boiler and fridge in your room, but no kitchen.

    We will have the meals together. We eat almost only vegetarian and always organic food. Except if we go to a Biergarten with you.
    We love breakfast, cook late lunch and do not eat much or not at all in the evening. But you are welcome to prepare your dinner for yourself.
    You can also come with your own campervan or bring an animal along with you. Just let us know….

  • What else ...
