About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Look forward to manual work in beautiful nature and open-hearted village life. This ecology-workcamp is a cooperation with the regional office for nature and landscape protection in Tübingen and the regional organisation for the preservation of the cultural heritage. Two hills of a former wine-growing area near the famous old university town of Tuebingen in Hirschau are well-known as a habitat for rare and endangered species and have been declared nature reserves. These areas have to be maintained regularly so that bushes and trees do not overrun the vegetation.

💼 What the programme involves

Working with experts, woods and meadows have to be cut and cleared and dead wood has to be removed from the protected area.

🏠 Accommodation on site

In a municipal building on camp beds, modern kitchen and sanitary facilities. You will cook together in the community kitchen.

📍 About the location

Hirschau, Tübingen As a vivid university town, Tübingen has numerous pubs and, of course, an active nightlife. It is also a town of historical significance, with many famous half-timbered buildings and the opportunity to punt on the river Neckar (a specialty unique to Tübingen in Germany).
