  Description

  Our house and foundation aim to promote a regenerative lifestyle based on permaculture, spirituality and wellbeing, and true connection between eachother and the environment. Our property located in the middle the woods, near a lake, where we see and hear more animals (birds, frogs, dormice, deer, jackals, and our own cats and dogs) than humans every day. Annelies is the driving force behind this project, together with the cats and dogs, forming dynamic community with travellers like you.
  
  We are building up a home for Eco Nomands and people who feel the need to come and live close to nature for a while. In the near future, you'll find us hosting permaculture courses, natural building workshops, meditation retreats, creative events and more... Meanwhile, we are exploring the possibilities to expand the little tribe here and also inviting people to join.
  
  At the moment,the project is development phase. Building up the gardens and home, according to permaculture principles, having some events in summers, and working out how to make all of this possible.
  
  Feel like joining us for a while, enjoy the wonders of nature and the environment? We'll welcome you with open arms!

  Hébergement

  For volunteer roles we can accomodate you in a dorm room or tents. Most of the time you will have a room to yourself.
  
  For people staying longer and/or interested in a coordinating role, we likely can offer you a more luxury private room when available.
  
  We have limited electricity, internet is only shared on special request (if you need it for work) or you can access it through our guest laptop. Be mindfull that our connection is slow, so if you are a digital nomad, you need to discuss the options with us before you arrive.
  
  There is running water, but for now only outside the house in the garden. We try to live as close by nature as possible, but we love it!
  
  The food served is mostly local and vegetarian (pro-vegan)only. We are moving towards zero-waste and ask you to be very conscious about any packaging when buying food.
  
  For guests, eating meat on the property is against the house rules, since we wish to create a safe space for animals and for people who do eat vegan. Our place aims to be a sanctuary for life. . Also, living with low electricity, eating plant based foods is the easiest way to ensure food safety and hygiene. We do not promote vegetarianism or veganism as an ideology, nor do we condemn eating meat. However, we like to push people into experiencing healthy plant-based food, since we do not agree with the meat and dairy industry. If you would like to enjoy some fish or meat, we would be happy to recommend you some options for eating out!
  
  We dhave a car and can pick you up at the trainstation in Vidbol, or the busstation in Vidin. Some days when we cannot pick you up, you could also take the small shuttle bus to our village or the lake (ask about it).

  Autres infos...

  We live in the very north west area of Bulgaria, near the borders with Romania and Serbia. It is a very poor region, but has a quite rich history.
  In Vidin, the nearest city (16 km away) there's some nice things to see, like the Baba Vidin Castle and the old city walls, and there's the Danube river!
  It's a very nice area for walking and biking (amidst the sunflowers in summer)!
  You can have a dive in the lake just in front of the property, and have a refreshing drink at the beach bar of our friend there.
  Also some day trips are possible: Go and visit the Belogradchik Fortress and natural rock formations, it is one of the ost amazing places in Europe. Spend a day on the Danube beach, go hiking or climbing in Vratsa, or why not have a weekend in Sofia?

  Espace pour garer des vans

  smaller campervans can be accomodated on the property, bigger motorhomes can park outside the property. We are very welcoming to people travelling with their own home and accommodations as this gives us the opportunity to welcome more people! Unfortunately we can't provide connection to electricity or running water to your camper (as we don't have this ourselves :) )
