About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The museum Insel Hombroich is an art museum, which is special because of its free-standing exhibition pavilions and the restored buildings, which are located in a re-naturalized park and meadow landscape along the river Erft. In the style of Paul Cézanne the motto of the museum is „Art parallel to nature”. You will help revitalize a river bed in the park. The moat has to be desludged, tress branches have to be removed and a small ramp with steps have to be constructed, so the water can flow again. Additionally, a new weir has to be build and maintenance work in the park, such as removing blackberry bushes, tree branches and nettles from the poplar forest.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Guesthouse. You will cook together.

📍 About the location

From the museum you can reach the next train station with a 25min walk. From there you can go on trips to Cologne, Düsseldorf, Bonn or to the Ruhrgebiet. Even a day trip to the Netherlands is a possibility! You will also get a guided tour through the nature park. We will stay in a cosy but slightly remote guesthouse. The next town nearby is Neuss with some nice cafés, a swimming pool and shopping facilities.
