💼 What the programme involves
The municipality of Trassem is located within the border triangle of France, Germany and Luxembourg, and therefore in the heart of Europe itself. With your help, we will continue building on the various components of our natural history station Walderlebniszentrum Trassem (Trassem s forest experience centre). You can expect to work together with young people from the local region on the restoration of an old Kelterstation (cider press) as well as other diverse tasks, such as building dry-stone walls with natural stones, maintenance work on the forest experience path and on the attractive free-ride/mountain bike trails. Not only can you experience many things to do with forests and nature and a wide spectrum of nature-related activities, but you can also be strongly involved with the organisation and design processes. This year we would also like you to co-operate and work together with the young people of the nature conservation association, der Deutschen Waldjugend. Through introducing you to people from the region, we see a real chance for us to give you a better understanding of our regional and cultural specialities. The larger town closest to us is Trier. As the oldest town in Germany, it was even the imperial city of residence during Roman times and has therefore earned its title as The Rome of the North . Particularly worth a visit
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will stay in the local Trassem community centre. You ll cook your own meals together.
📍 About the location
Trassem is in the wonderful wine town of Saarburg, with its historical castle ruins and picturesque old town, complete with waterfall. As well as interesting sights, there are also numerous free time opportunities in Saarburg, such as the street cafes, an outdoor swimming pool and a park for birds of prey. You also have the opportunity to canoe along the Saar river and to climb the steep cliffs of Saartal. Because our project Walderlebniszentrum Trassem has been running for many years, you will be able to admire the efforts of previous workcamp participants. Alongside a large seminar building (a log cabin with an annex), a forest workshop, an outdoor barbecue area and various establishments of the Walderlebnispfades Trassem , the Waldklasszimmer (Waldarena) has also been finished. With your enthusiasm and energetic efforts, you too can leave your mark on our facilities during this year s workcamp. Besides this, there are many opportunities during the workcamp for excursions to Trier, Saarbrucken, Luxembourg and France.
