About the project

Lake, Hills and Environment (Sipplingen)

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The camp in Sipplingen (near Überlingen), on the shore of Lake Constance, has been organised in cooperation with the regional office for nature and landscape protection for several years now. The territory around Lake Constance is a nature reserve and the landscape around Sipplingen is characterized by steep banks. This area is the habitat of rare and endangered species. It must be maintained regularly in order to preserve biodiversity and to avoid overgrowth of bushes and trees. Join other volunteers in ensuring that flower-loving insects will still find a wide range of these essential field flowers. During your work you will also have a stunning view across 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, building a path.

🏠 Accommodation on site

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

⚠️ Requirements

Interest in ecological themes, being prepared for physical work outside on a steep slope, good physical condition and safe walking in difficult terrain necessary.

ℹ️ Additional information

Since you will work on a steep slope, work shoes or hiking boots with profile are essential! Several trips to the sights around Lake Constance are possible: the islands of Mainau and Reichenau with its monastery complex, Constance with its historic city, a boat excursion in the evening, and a sailing trip with a barbecue afterwards. Please be advised that due to the corona pandemic and related measures, there may be changes. We ask you not to book your trip before we have informed you if your workcamp will take place at the planned location. We will let you know about this at least four weeks before it starts.
