The Experience

We are a tiny Hostel in a historic building surrounded by nature, our atmosphere is very familiar and relaxed. We work hard but never stressed. Our clients are great! hikers, mountaineers, climbers, cyclists, nature lovers in general. Tasks are variable, mainly it would be to help with the cleaning, but also with the small garden or going to the supermarket. If you have other knowledge they are also welcome. I wait for you!

Volunteering at the hostel was an amazing experience for me! I am so glad that my first experience through Worldpackers was at this place! The hostel is very beautiful. Volunteers have their own rooms, which are also great. Helena is an excellent host. She is very kind and cheerful. the hostel is a small, cozy town, perfect for enjoying nature. There is plenty of free time after the volunteer work is done! I had a really great experience, and I hope to meet Helena again next time.

This was my first experience being in another country on my own and working through worldpackers and it was the greatest experience. Not only was place I was working beautiful the host was so nice and helpful with anything and everything I could need. She showed me the most beautiful spots and she is also a great human being. The town of the hostel is small and cozy and you really get to experience the culture of Germany here. It's also close to Dresden so you get that big city vibe if you want it. 10 out of 10 experience!

Helena is a great host! Very open, quite flexible when needed, and ready to help the guests. The stay was pleasant, I got to upgrade my cleaning skills and detail attention. And I had plenty of time to explore the beautiful areas surrounding the hostel. It is a small city, just 30 min from Dresden, near unique places and a lot of places to visit. Good for people like me that wants peace in a very German city. Was exactly what I needed. Already planing a visit soon, not as a volunteer tho!

Volunteering at the hostel was a great experience for me! The hostel is very beautiful, as a volunteer you have your own room in the appartment upstairs. The work is mainly cleaning and doing some small tasks in the garden. the hostel itself is a pittoresque town 20 minutes from Dresden, and the surrounding area is very beautiful. There is also a bike you can use, for instance to cycle a part of the 'elberadweg' which I highly recommend! Lastly, Helena can give you many tips of things to do and will make you feel at home. Thank you for everything!

I went to the hostel in times of pandemic, there was not much to do, the job was basically cleaning the hostel and the garden. Helena is friendly and loves to share the stories about the hostel. The architecture of the houses in this part of Germany is amazing, and the hostel is one of the most beautiful and cozy I have ever seen. In the region there are many parks and great places to visit.
