💼 What the programme involves
You will be cutting away weeds and cultivating garden plants at the old factory site of the Deutsche Bahn (German train company) – Werk 4 (http://www.werk4md.de/). A café will also be built on the grounds. For this, you will be building a stage. Additionally, you will help out with various cleaning tasks on the premises and also support the team with the initial preparations for new sanitary facilities. The little gatehouse at the entrance of the grounds is waiting to be cleaned and painted by you as well. A project with many diverse tasks awaits you!
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be staying on one or two large tents with camp-beds, showers and toilets all available on-site. You will cook meals together in a kitchen van – here you will have the opportunity to bring recipes from your home country and try our new international dishes.
📍 About the location
After finishing work for the day, you can explore the capital of the Saxony-Anhalt region, with its history and culture. Magdeburg has a lot to offer as a town. Visit the different architectural builds in the town, go for a swim in the lake or try out the climbing wall in the Elbauenpark. The nearby Harz with its highest mountain in the north of Germany invites you to discover its diverse hiking trails, to travel with the historical steam train “Brockenbahn” or simply to enjoy a new impressive view from the mountains. You could also organise trips with your group to the nearby charming towns of Leipzig, Halle, Braunschweig or Berlin.
