Hallo!

Me and my husband are running a small farm.
Also we rent out two small holiday apartments all year round. Our son Adrian (24) visits us during the weekends but is living in Dresden during the week.

We also own two horses (Pirat & Simon), 1 cats (Tabbo), a few rabbits, guinea pigs and our dog 'Lana'.

We are located in 'Rohna', a village in Thuringia, the so called 'green heart of Germany'.
It's a very small (about 60 inhabitants) and romantic village hidden in the green landscape. We are 150km away from Dresden and 85km from Erfurt, near Gera and Weida.

We would be happy to host motivated single persons but also friends or couples for a minimum of 2 weeks (Attention: In times of Corona minimum would be 4 weeks for the reason of some quarantine at the beginning).

At the moment we're looking for workawayers:
feel free to suggest any dates (t.b.a)

¿Que es esto?
Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
We offer you the possibility to learn a lot about animals, general maintenance around our farm and basic crafts.
If you're interested, we can show you how to operate tractors and repair motorbikes (or drive them ;) )
In addition we'd like to teach you some german but we'd also like to improve ourselfes.

For the time you're staying with us we'd like you to be part of our family.
For us it is all about cultural exchange, meeting new persons and learn about daily life in other countries (we can't travel that much anymore cause we can't leave the animals on their own). :)
Ayuda
Throughout the whole year we are looking for help with our animals like feeding, brushing and walking the dog.
And you can go horse riding with one of us sometimes.
Also we need some help during the summer harvesting our hay using our tractos ( an old one built 1961 and a newer and bigger one).
Moreover we're looking for kind people helping us hosting guests in our holiday apartments. Therefore we need to clean those but also look after the kids, teach horse riding and offer them a great time.
You can also learn yarn spinning and weaving to help us with the courses we're offering.

In the end there is a lot of general tasks like cooking, shopping, but also some gardening and building/repairing.

We're asking for around 4-5 hours help/day depending on if there are some guests visiting or if we're harvesting hay or renovating something but it will be no problem to take a day off ;)
Idiomas hablados
German: Fluido
English: Fluido
French: Principiante
Alojamiento
Depending on if there's another workawayer staying with us at the same time we can offer you seperated bedrooms in a flat together or also a seperated flat on your own (also depending on if our holiday appartments are rent).

We provide you towels and hygienic products and mostly any other stuff you're not able to bring with you.
Also we would like to take our meals together: breakfast and dinner definitely, for lunch feel free to use our fridge. (:
Algo más...
Rohna is located in a small valley so you're able to go for a walk in the forest nearby with our dog or go for a horse ride along the 'Auma', the small river passing through our village.

There are also some nice local sights which can be visited in the surrounding villages and towns.
If you want to we can also visit some sights together or you can ask to go for a motorbike ride. ;)

Please note that there is no public transport in Rohna execpt 5 school buses/day. The next train station is 3 km away, the next supermarket around 10km. So if you want to leave for a day trip or something feel free to ask us if we're able to get you to the train station or somewhere else. Otherwise you're free to use our bycicles (there are some really nice bycicle paths around!) (:

Bye for now!
Anne & Manfred & Adrian

Dejado por el anfitrión para el workawayer (Paula)

Before Paula arrived in Rohna, Anne and I were a little bit scared because she wanted to stay a little bit longer than most of our other guests. But after some minutes we knew that we had made a good choice when we invited her. She really was a part of our family for some weeks. Like all the others she was very helpful, and we even let her alone… read more

This was my second Workaway experience and it was fantastic! I stayed here for almost two weeks and I had a great time. Anne and Manfred are two wonderful people, always so patient, calm and nice and I immediately felt at home. We worked for almost 3/4 hours per day and the tasks were various and never boring: we built a big hole (destined to… read more

Dimitriy is a sympathetic young man who was probably in Germany for the first time. When he arrived he had a very romantic, somewhat unrealistic picture of Germany, we corrected it gently.
Dimitriy has helped us a lot in our household, almost like a butler (he speaks excellent english) - but he has mastered even the most difficult farm work with… read more

I am most grateful to Manfred, Anne and Adrian for their generous hospitality at their home, where I stayed for 19 days in May and June 2019.

It was a good trip and an opportunity to learn about the German culture, improve my German, gain work experience on a farm and meet many interesting people in a lovely village.

I left Rohna with many… read more

Dejado por el anfitrión para el workawayer (Inga)

It was a nice time with Inga. I think because she came from Wisconsin (which is a bit rural), she had no problems with grass, hay, etc., nor with our animals.
So we could leave her alone with our two horses, the dog, the cat and the rabbits.
That was very important to us, because without her we would not have been able to visit our old friends on… read more

I stayed with Anne and Manfred for three weeks, it was my first workaway and I could not have asked for a better experience! Right away I felt at home. I felt so lucky to have one of the guest apartment's to myself, it was very comfortable and had everything I could possibly need. The work was varied depending on what needed to be done each day,… read more most of it revolved around tending to the hay. Cutting grass, turning it to dry, and bringing it into the barn. Sometimes I would clean and prepare the apartments for the guests. I also cooked dinner almost every night and took care of all the animals when Anne and Mafred were away on a trip. I really enjoyed taking on Anne's daily schedule, it made me want to have my own little farm someday! I felt very peaceful the entire time I was there working with the animals and the land, it was very enriching and exactly what I needed at this point in my life.

Anne and Manfred were patient with my terrible German, and even though I don't speak the language well at all they still spoke to me in German a lot of the time which I really appreciated. Thanks to them now I can understand German a lot more! The culture exchange was wonderful, and since Manfred is very knowledgeable when it comes to culture, I was lucky to learn a lot about many other different cultures as well. He told many interesting stories and often let me borrow his books, he even picked out ones that he thought would I like and left them on the table for me in the morning. Manfred and Anne are both so kind and considerate, they accommodated my restrictive diet and were very understanding when I had a few off-days because of my chronic health issues. They gave me time to rest whenever I needed it. They are also some of the the most easy-going people I ever met, they stay completely calm no matter what happens! I really appreciate this quality in people so it was very refreshing being in their company.

The balance between work and rest was perfect for me, and we did a lot of fun things whenever we had a day off. They took me to fairs/festivals in near by towns, horseback riding, and they even took me out sight seeing so I could work on my photography! Their son Adrian also took me on motorcycle rides when he visited which I loved! I especially enjoyed spending time with Manfred, Anne, and Adrian when they were all together, they are such a great family and I am incredibly grateful to have been apart of their lives.

They also took good care of our two horses when we were away for a few days. Both prepared delicious food almost every day and baked fine cake… read more
