Program Details
Expect an outdoor workday of about 6 hours. In the winter, our schedule follows the sunrise and sunset. We will be carrying logs out of the forest, which requires some physical strength. Walking in the forest is difficult due to all the spruce branches; these must be gathered into piles and then burned. All meals will be taken place at our home. If you wish to shower, you may do so at our place as well.
Activities & Shift
Perfect for those who enjoy being outdoors in the fresh air and doing physical work for one to three days. After the day’s work, we can heat up the sauna by the lake for a refreshing dip.
Rules
You need to have warm clothing that can withstand dirt and moisture, depending on the weather conditions.
