ECO&IMPACT III - Upahl-Lenzen/ Teterow

CODE: NIG06

Work:

This workcamp is perfect for nature lovers, as the work takes place outdoors in the Upahl-Lenzen Nature Reserve. Volunteers will maintain the area by mowing meadows and clearing the grass—all by hand, as traditional farming techniques cannot be used. The project aims to preserve the nature reserve and is carried out in cooperation with the environmental agency of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Accomodation and food

ACCOMMODATION:
Volunteers will be accommodated in a youth club located in a former kindergarten. The accommodation is simple and functional. Outside, there is a fire pit that invites everyone to gather in the evenings. The volunteers should bring sleeping bag and mattress pad with them, as the accommodation only provides mattresses but no blankets.

FOOD:
Meals will be prepared by the volunteers themselves, who will contribute their own recipes, creating a colorful mix of traditional specialties and new creations.

Location and leisure

LOCATION:
Lohmen is a peaceful village in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, surrounded by the Upahl-Lenzen Nature Reserve. With around 850 inhabitants, it offers a tranquil, community-oriented atmosphere and a variety of recreational opportunities. Visitors can explore the labyrinth, get active on sports fields, or discover the archaeological nature trail. A nearby lake also invites for swimming. Lohmen combines nature, history, and relaxation, making it ideal for those who want to enjoy rural life in a culturally rich environment.

LEISURE:
Volunteers can explore the surroundings by water or go swimming together. Excursions to other cities, such as Rostock, are also possible.
