About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

This is the first time the medieval town of Klingenberg am Main invites an international workcamp to their community. There are two districts, Roellfeld and Trennfurt, that are both in need of different maintenance works: Your help is needed at a stone pit, a gorge, castle ruins, hiking trails through the famous vineyards, and a former clay pit; possibly also at the Bird of Prey Station.

💼 What the programme involves

Your tasks will include different kinds of green works like cutting bushes and overgrowth, cleaning the hiking trails and rebuilding fences. In the gorge the paths might need to be rebuilt, and collapsed walls need to be removed or fortified. Parts of the castle ruins will be prepared for professional maintenance works and it is planned to build two big insect hotels at the trail through the vineyards as well as nesting boxes for birds. Be prepared for lots of manual work in the fresh air

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will stay in the club house of the local rambling club in the district of the town called Roellfeld. It is located at the edge of the town surrounded by forests. There are mattress dormitories for up to 38 people, divided into 4 rooms, kitchen, shower and a lounge.

📍 About the location

Klingenberg is located at the river Main on the edge of the nature park Spessart in the Bavarian region called lower Franconia. It is famous for its red wine and during the camp there will be a festival of local wine growers taking place from August 15th to 18th You will surely be invited for a glass or two. Also, you will have time to explore the beautiful region and make trips to cities close-by like Wuerzburg, Aschaffenburg and Miltenberg
