📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The ‘Kaiserstuhl’ is a small volcanic mountain in the middle of the Upper Rhine Plain near Freiburg and one of the most famous wine regions in Germany. Of great importance are also the dry areas with a variety of rare animal and plant species, which is why large parts of the ‘Kaiserstuhl’ are under protection. They require regular care, so that trees and bushes do not displace the special vegetation. Due to the sensitivity of the region and the sometimes steep slopes, no heavy vehicles and equipment can be used and physical work as 100 years ago is program. And here is where you come into play! During the work you will be supervised by a warm and competent team and have a breathtaking view of the surrounding hills!

Mowing meadows in cooperation with the staff of the local organisation, responsible for the nature protection and landscape management; raking hay on steep slopes.
