About the project

Weisbach

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Weisbach is a very small village in the mountains of Thüringen, not far from Saalfeld and surrounded by beautiful countryside with mountains, green valleys, forests and meadows. During the 12th century a fortress was built on a hill near the village but it was destroyed during the following century. Since then it has become overgrown with trees and bushes. Systematic excavations began in 1984. Please be prepared to live and work in a very remote area!

💼 What the programme involves

The volunteers are asked to help on the excavation ground of the fortress with building work, painting walls or cleaning. You will do punctured excavations (1m x 1m) and filter the finds. Other tasks can be removing of bushes or documentation of your work.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will live in a community house in the village, with toilet and shower facilities provided.

📍 About the location

Please be aware that you will be in a very rural area from where it is quite difficult to get away (for shopping etc.), but there are very nice people in the village who are interested in meeting you.
