🏠 Accommodation on site
You will stay in the club house of the local rambling club (Oskar's Waldhütte) in the district of the town called Röllfeld. It is located at the edge of the town surrounded by forests. There are mattress dormitories for up to 38 people, a kitchen, showers and a lounge. Your group of volunteers will be responsible for grocery shopping and cooking together. The food will be bought with the camp budget and everybody will take turns for cooking, washing the dishes and cleaning. In order to reduce our carbon footprint on the planet, we encourage volunteers to reduce meat and try more sustainable dishes.
📍 About the location
Klingenberg is located at the river Main on the edge of the nature park Spessart, in the Bavarian region called lower Franconia. It is famous for its red wine and during the camp, you will be able to attend the festival of local wine growers, which will take place from 11th to-15th of August. You will surely be invited for a glass or two. You will have time to explore the beautiful region and also make trips to cities close by like Würzburg, Aschaffenburg and Miltenberg.
