Hermanns Haus
Dear volunteer,
my house used to be a historic, traditional style Bavarian farmhouse in the Bavarian mountains (Alps). There are idyllic lakes in my area with crystal-clear water, ideal for swimming, surfing and sailing. We have a SUP and a kayak with which we could go boating.
There's a nice river next to our town which is perfect for rafting.
We have lots of bike-trails - one is even leading up to Austria, which you can reach within 1 - 2 hours by bike.
In winter the area is ideal for skiing and snowboarding. There is a huge ski-resort 15 minutes from my house.
It would be great if you could cook and help in the household. You also can work in the garden or do some painting in and at the house. You should work about 3 - 4 hours a day.
We are not far from Munich. There is a train every hour, which takes 30 - 45 minutes to Munich.
My son and I would be glad to teach you how to prepare fresh yoghurt, kefir, bake organic bread or cook Bavarian food and make you acquainted with the Bavarian way of life in a typical traditional upper-Bavarian village with its numerous local festivals.
I enjoy playing the piano. Of course you can use it, too. We do a lot of outdoor activities like jogging, bicycling, swimming, skiing, diving, tennis, kayaking.
We care a lot about our environment. That's why eating organic food is important for us and we try to lead a sustainable way of life. We are not total vegetarians, but - mostly for spiritual reasons - we eat meat only very rarely. Ecology is extremely important for us. That's why I installed 2 photovoltaic systems on our house.
Our volunteers will get their own nice room with balcony. They can use one of our mountain bikes.
It would be great if you could cook and help in the household.
You also can work in the garden or do some painting in and at the house. You should work about 3 - 4 hours a day, all in all around 20 hours a week.
Of course you will also get days off.
