About the project

Lake, Hills and Environment (Sipplingen)

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

This camp in the small village of Sipplingen (near Überlingen) on the shore of Lake Constance is organised in cooperation with the regional office for nature and landscape protection. The landscape around Sipplingen is characterised by steep banks and the territory around Lake Constance is a nature protection zone. This area is the habitat of rare and endangered species; therefore it must be cultivated regularly in order to avoid overgrowth by bushes and trees. That way, flower loving Insects will still find a wide range of these essential field flowers. During your work you will have a nice view across the Lake Constance.

💼 What the programme involves

Working under the supervision of experts in a slope area: clearing the area by cutting bushes and removing dried wood and branches in a slope area; It is handwork with hayforks- you will have fun, you will get muscle, you will have a great view on the lake during work and you can swim in the lake after work.

🏠 Accommodation on site

In solid tents directly at Lake Constance, modern sanitary facilities inside a building; possibility to swim in the lake
