Description
Willkommen auf unserem Hof im schönen Chiemgau! Hier, mitten im Grünen zwischen Wiesen und Wald, betreiben wir eine kleine Landwirtschaft mit ein paar Pferden. Seit unsere Kinder nicht mehr bei uns leben, sind wir zu zweit, Hund Nika lebt noch mit uns im Haus und Kater Filou in der Scheune. Im Nachbarhaus wohnen einige jüngere Leute, zur nächsten Wohnsiedlung geht es ca 500 m die Straße hinab.
Welcomet to our farm in the beautiful Chiemgau! Here in the midst of green meadows and forests we are running a small farm with some horses. Since our children do not live with us anymore there are only the two of us, Beate and Siebert, plus our dog Nika in the house and a cat named Filou in the barn. In the neighboring house are living a few younger people, the next housing area is situated a 500 meter walk downhill.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Die Gäste leben bei uns als Familienmitglieder. Wir sprechen wenn möglich Deutsch mit euch und teilen unseren typisch deutschen Tagesablauf. In unserem Dorf Eisenärzt und in der Region gibt es viele traditionelle Aktivitäten.
Wir freuen uns, wenn ihr von eurer Heimat erzählt oder typische Gerichte zubereitet. „Über den Tellerrand“ zu schauen ist immer eine Bereicherung.
Guests live with us as members of our family. We’ll speak German with you if possible and share our typical German way of life. In our village Eisenärzt and in the region you can experience a lot of traditional activities.
We love to hear about your home country or try typical meals from where you’re from. It is always enriching to think outside the box.
Help
Bei uns gibt es immer etwas zu tun, im Stall, in der Scheune und vor allem auf den Pferdekoppeln. Zäune ziehen oder reparieren, Brombeerranken entfernen, Gras mähen, Pferdeboxen streichen, Holz aufstapeln, Heu einbringen - die Arbeit geht nie aus. Auch in unserem fast einhundertjährigen Wohnhaus und im Garten findet sich immer Arbeit.
Spezielle Fähigkeiten braucht ihr nicht, wir zeigen euch alles Notwendige vor Ort. Ihr müsst gerne im Freien sein, auch bei schlechtem Wetter, und ihr dürft kein Problem damit haben, mit anzupacken und euch auch mal die Hände schmutzig zu machen.
On a farm there is always work to do, in the stable, in the barn and most of all on the meadows. Fencing, removing weeds, mowing, painting walls and horse stalls, piling wood, bringing in hay… the work never ends. Our nearly 100 year old home and the garden always require attention as well.
You don’t need special skills, we’ll show you everything necessary on site. You should be fond of being outside, even on days with bad weather, and you shouldn't have a problem getting your hands dirty.

Accommodation
Eines unserer nicht bewohnten Kinderzimmer steht unseren Gästen zur Verfügung. Da es ziemlich klein ist, sollten zwei Personen dort nur wohnen, wenn sie sich gut verstehen. Wer möchte, kann aber auch gerne ein Zelt aufstellen und unter den Sternen übernachten.
Küche, Bad und Wohnräume stehen natürlich allen zur Verfügung. Ihr seid gerne zu gemeinsamen Mahlzeiten eingeladen.
We offer our guests our daughter’s former room. Since it is quite small, it should only be used by two people if they get along well. If you like you may set up a tent and sleep under the night sky.
We share kitchen, bathroom and living rooms with our guests and invite them to have meals with us.
What else ...
Der Hof liegt relativ abgelegen. Mit dem Fahrrad erreicht man den nächsten größeren Ort aber in 15 Minuten. Dort gibt es ein Freibad, Supermärkte, einen Sportverein, Kneipen und Bistros.
Vor allem empfehlen wir euch aber die wunderschöne Landschaft im bayerischen Voralpenland zu nutzen um zu wandern, skizufahren und Natur zu erleben.
The farm is situated outside of town. By bicycle the next larger town is about 15 minutes away. There is an outdoor swimming center, supermarkets, a sports club and a few bars and restaurants.
In the first place, however, we recommend to enjoy the beautiful landscape in our area to go hiking, skiing and to experience nature.

He expected from his workaway adventure to learn something about work on a small farm, to be able to use and improve his German and to experience intercultural exchange. We think this plans could be fulfilled.

He is a hard and fast worker and does his jobs independently and accurately, you don’t have to tell him a lot of details. So a good deal of work could be done with his help.

October showed Indian summer at its best, so Jonas could do a lot of work outdoors. Besides the inevitable working with the brushcutter in the everlasting fight against the tendrils there was much more to do. Whether there were jobs in the garden, in the… read more

Was super lucky to catch some weeks full of sunshine and could make use of the beautiful Chiemgau including ice-cream, pretty towns, lakes and – of course – mountains. I usually worked in the morning, so I still could explore the area in the afternoon. I could also use one of the bikes which has… read more
