📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The town of Haeusern in the middle of the Black Forest will host its first workcamp in 2018 and is looking forward to your help! The local kindergarten has gotten a new additional building last year and now needs a new playground and garden area so the kids can play outside in summer.
💼 What the programme involves
You will help improve the new outdoors area of the local kindergarten. Support the local construction workers in building a nice playground/garden area for the children to play in! It is possible that local families and children will join you during the work.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be accommodated in ‘Naturfreundehaus’, a nice Black Forest house 10 minutes walking distance from the center of the village. The house is usually used to accommodate hikers and youth groups, so it has all the equipment you need for your workcamp: Sanitary facilities, a kitchen, different dormitories, a common room, a terrace, a garden and a BBQ place. Bed sheets will be provided.
📍 About the location
Haeusern is a village of about 1.300 inhabitants located in the middle of the beautiful landscape of the Black Forest. The area is very popular with hikers. Around Haeusern, there are 100 kilometers of marked hiking trails, which invite you to long walks in the forest. The Schluchsee Lake and several smaller lakes are close-by where you can either recover from a hard working day on the beach or you could even try one of the many water sports such as sailing, surfing or diving. You can reach the Feldberg (the highest German mountain outside of the Alps) in only half an hour by car. There are regular train connections to Freiburg (a university city with lots of students) and Lake Constance in the south.
