Highlights of this camp: comfortable accommodation, numerous excursions at the weekend: Frankfurt, Cologne, Mainz and much more. Group feeling in the middle of the forest!
Are you a nature lover? Then this work camp is the right place for you! You can live and work in the middle of the forest for two weeks. Your main task will be to plant trees and thus make an active contribution to environmental protection! You will also help with other various nature conservation tasks, such as forest maintenance work, building and repairing protective fences and maintaining biotopes, and you will learn a lot about the forest ecosystem.
Accomodation and food
You will stay in dormitory rooms in an idyllic location in the middle of the forest. There is a table tennis court, campfire site and pizza oven.
Meals are prepared by the house: Breakfast, a warm lunch and in the evening there is a “cold” dinner with bread and sausage, cheese, spread.
Location and leisure
You'll be staying in the middle of the forest in a super nice accommodation, where you can have a barbecue together in the evening or sit around the campfire. You will be provided with a minibus so that you can get to know the beautiful surroundings and go to the swimming pool, wildlife park or climbing garden. Excursions to the Rhine Area with its castles, to Koblenz, Mainz, Cologne, Heidelberg or Frankfurt are also on your program. The nearest town is Bingen, which also has plenty of sights to offer.
