📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Rottenburg am Neckar is a medium-sized town about 50km southwest of Stuttgart. Be aware that the project itself is going to take place in the village Weiler that belongs to Rottenburg – but it is located about 2km away from Rottenburg itself! While Weiler only has about 1000 inhabitants, Rottenburg offers a picturesque historic centre, lying on the banks of the river Neckar. This year Rottenburg will be hosting a workcamp for the second time. The project will be done in cooperation with a local kindergarten, so there will be close contact to the local people. The children’s parents are already planning to invite you for a homestay in one evening!
💼 What the programme involves
The playground of a local kindergarten needs to be re-done! Professionals will instruct you during the work and the aim is to finish the whole playground within the two weeks.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be accommodated in a community house. A kitchen and showers are provided.
📍 About the location
Rottenburg offers various cultural as well as sport activities: museums, swimming pools, canoeing and an outdoor climbing wall. Nearby, there are hiking trails and castles which invite you to spend a relaxing day in the nature. The university town Tuebingen with plenty of cafés and bars is only 12km away and also Stuttgart can be reached in 1 hour by train. To thank you for your help, the town Rottenburg wants to organize a barbeque in the local castle, punting (boating with a punt, a small flat-bottomed boat that is pretty popular in Tuebingen) and some more free-time activities for you.
