💼 What the programme involves

Your accommodation in Hahnenhof is in the middle of the Pflzerwald biosphere reserve. Surrounded by mountains and a wonderfully densely wooded landscape, you will be picked up by the forester and taken to work. In Pflzerwald, you will be working on forestry and conservation - taking care of young forest stands, removing small trees alongside the brook so that the native trees have more space to grow, and building protective fences for different types of cultivation. For this, you will be working with hand saws, hammers, nails, shovels, axes and spades. Besides this, you will be removing non-resident species of plants (Neophytes), in order to protect the natural biocoenosis. With shovels and axes, you will be building gullies across paths and pruning branches

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will be staying in shared rooms in a leisure centre. Meals with be prepared and cooked together in groups.

📍 About the location

In this camp your primary free-time possibility is to be amongst nature: to go for walks and to visit nearby castles. Bicycles for the participants are available. There are great opportunities for climbing the Dahn cliffs. In the biosphere house, you can learn a great deal about forest ecosystems. There is a meadow for games and a campfire next to the accommodation. If the weather is nice, you can take a swim in the 2 natural lakes nearby. In Bad Bergzabern and in Dahn there are outdoor swimming pools and cafs. You could go on an excursion to France (Strasbourg) or Karlsruhe, Speyer and Mannheim, but these kinds of trips are only possible over the weekend

ℹ️ Additional information
