We will build a camping solar shower for you outside.The sleeping rooms are dorms with 8 to 15 mattresses (separated by gender). Bring therefore your sleeping bag and a pillow with you. The next house or public transport stops are far away, so you will have a unique nature experience in the wilderness, surrounded by many cows.
