Program Details
Unser Projekt widmet sich der behutsamen Restaurierung eines monumentalen, historischen Bauernhauses in einem kleinen Dorf im Naturpark Fichtelgebirge, nahe der deutsch-tschechischen Grenze. Ziel ist es, das Gebäude und seine Umgebung zu erhalten, neu zu beleben und langfristig als einen offenen, einladenden Ort inmitten der Natur zu gestalten.
