WORK: In this workcamp, your main tasks will be to repair a meadow that has been destroyed by boars. Because of many holes in the ground, the field currently cannot be used as a pasture anymore. The meadow is situated on a very steep slope right next to where you will be sleeping. You will also need to remove eagle fern, a tall plant that is poisonous to animals and that doesn’t allow sufficient space for other plants, herbs, and small new trees. Another task will be the maintenance of water ditches. Be prepared for a variety of outdoor tasks relating to habitat management.

PROJECT: Your hosts have already been involved in a workcamp many years ago and are now very happy to finally host a workcamp in their village again. They will be cooperating with a regional landscape development association, which has already been co-coordinating our workcamps in nearby Lauterbach and Schiltach. With their combined experience, they will lead you through a variety of outdoor tasks.
This project is great for anyone with an interest in landscape development, nature preservation and habitat management. By participating in this workcamp, you are actively supporting biodiversity (UN SDG 15) and combatting climate change (UN SDG 13).

LOCATION: Aichhalden is situated in the Black Forest at 700m and surrounded by beautiful nature. It is a great location for long walks, hikes or even bike trips. The village itself is relatively small with 4.000 inhabitants, but in your free time you can go on trips, for example to the nearby university town Freiburg, across the border to Strasbourg or to other sights and activities inside the Black Forest.

NEXT AIRPORTS: Stuttgart, Straßburg, Basel
NEXT TRAIN STATION: Schiltach, Alpirsbach, Oberndorf, Rottweil

ACCOMMODATION: You will be accommodated in a group vacation home right next to your work site. The house is a bit outside of the village and oversees the beautiful valley where you will be working. A supermarket and a bakery can be reached by foot and local farmers sell their products in the village. Inside the house, you will have a kitchen and sanitary facilities (including showers). For sleeping, there will be some beds and some mattresses. Please bring your own sleeping bag!

PROJECT: It is the 11th time that the municipality of Wangen invites a workcamp to help out at the local summer festivals and activities for children. During the first week, a play scheme called “Mini-Wangen” will run and children at the age of 7-10 years are invited to participate in this “mini-town” where the kids may give various professions a try: Being a major, a journalist ... During the second week a medieval play scheme will take place on a castle. WORK: The participants of the workcamp will help to take care of the kids at several different activities at the play scheme in the first week. They are generally helping the children to enjoy their summer holidays, in cooperation with the local camp counsellors. There will be about 120 children taking part – which can be stressful but also fun and very rewarding. The other task will be to help out at the medieval summer festival for children, which takes place in a castle! The activities take place from 8-14 o’clock. Since this holiday program has been taking place for years, the kids usually know how things work and they are very independent. Therefore, volunteers are asked to bring own ideas (games, music, and so on) and to enrich this “mini-town” with some intercultural experiences!

Wangen is a beautiful city situated in the southern German region called “Allgaeu”, close to the borders of Austria and Switzerland. The region lies close to the Alps and therefore has a diverse nature of mountains, meadows, waterfalls and the like. There is a lot to discover in terms of history and nature, old castles, mountain trails and the Lake Constance. But also Wangen itself has much to offer. The history of the city dates back to the year 815. The charm of Wangen lies within its historical buildings and southern German architectural style. Definitely two exciting, adventurous and diverse weeks are waiting for you!
NEXT AIRPORT: Munich, Stuttgart, Memmingen
