📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
The club of railway enthusiasts Hasental e.V. (Eisenbahnfreunde Hasetal) runs a museum railway service on a disused railway track. Tourists can wallow in a bit of nostalgia every Saturday when an old engine pulls the historic passenger carriages through the landscape. Your group helps the Eisenbahnfreunde with the restoration of an old freight wagon and with upgrading the historic engine shed by restoring the gates. You also help with various other repair and restoration jobs on the premise.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will stay in cosy shared rooms with a self-catering kitchen and a communal area 5km away from the work place. You will cook together.
