  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  There are some field trips planned for Workawayers to get to know the protected landscape area Broumovsko, especially the rock towns but also Baroque churches. There will be a possibility to attend a debate with a local ecologist about water retention, with an ornithologist, with a historian or with organic farmers about various topics.

  Ajuda

  The work will mainly consist of manual activities in nature. You will manually dig holes (or finish holes pre-dug by a small digging machine) to make water pools with the aim to retain water and thus help prevent drought and re-create habitats for amphibians, insects and birds, work in the forest (cleaning paths and roads for better access), assist local eco-farmers.

  The small town (4000 inhab.) of Police nad Metují is situated amid several sandstone rock towns (Adršpach, Teplice nad Metují, Ostaš, Broumovské stěny) in north-east Bohemia, close to the Polish border. It is easily accessible from Prague, Hradec Králové via Náchod and from Wroclaw, Walbrzych via Meziměstí, Broumov or Kudowa Zdroj/Náchod.
  
  Please bring a hat, a tick repellent, waterproof clothes and shoes (ideally rubber boots), a sleeping mat and a sleeping bag (weekend trip). We´d prefer you do not take the plane in order to participate. We prefer a train, a bus or a bicycle. If you do not have your own bicycle, we can provide one for you.
