    Description

    Hello dear Workaway people,

    Welcome to our family!

    Our landlady Petra (director) and our cuddly tomcat Kommandant are looking forward to seeing you. Sonnhild (artist) and her two children Frida (11 years) and Samuel (12 years) are also part of the family - they visit us every July and August.

    We look forward to welcoming you to our charming old farmhouse on the Pärnhof!

    The Pärnhof is a former farm where I, Petra, live in the old farmhouse. Part of the house and an outbuilding serve as a day workshop for an institution for the disabled people with disabilities work there part-time, mainly in gardening, woodworking and herb processing. There is also a stable where goats and sheep are kept in winter - lovingly cared for by dedicated neighbours.

    The farm is situated at around 700 metres above sea level, nestled in the picturesque Bucklige Welt, surrounded by fields, hills, forests and the ‘Wechsel’ mountain. It is a quiet area with little traffic. The Wechsel mountain hut can be reached in just over an hour and a half via a beautiful hiking trail that leads past refreshing waterfalls. At the same time, the Austrian capital, Vienna, is only 1.5 hours away by train.

    We look forward to welcoming you to our home and its a non - profit project!😊
