🏢 About the local organisation
The small, thatched croft of the Teich family, that is also the camp’s base, is located in the heart of a natural reserve and is surrounded by the lake “Middelburger See”. Currently, the house is being renovated. When it’s finished, the house will be inhabited and used for various cultural purposes. Several kinds of old fruit trees were planted on the meadows belonging to the house. The meadows also provide hay for the farm horses. In the garden, fruits, vegetables and herbs are being cultivated.
The small town Middelburg is located between the Baltic Sea (6 km) and the historic castle town Eutin (6 km). Both can be easily reached by bus.
