I had a really good experience staying with Sigbert. The atmosphere was very peaceful and relaxed, but at the same time there was always something interesting to do or learn. Sigbert was welcoming, kind and easy to communicate with, and I really enjoyed the calm lifestyle and the experience of being in a different environment. It was a nice opportunity to slow down, help out and enjoy the surroundings. I'm very grateful for the time I spent there and I would definitely recommend the experience to other volunteers. Thank you, Sigbert!

I stayed there for 3 weeks and truly had a wonderful time. Sigbert and his friends are absolutely welcoming and he always tried to make me feel comfortable. Work hours couldn't be more flexible and tasks were fair enough (watering plant, gardening, house chore, etc). I was able to borrow a bicycle to explore nearby village, park and get to train station to catch train to Hamburg on my day-offs. Thanks for making my stay so memorable, highly recommend this experience for anyone looking for close connection to nature and peaceful lifestyle!

Sigbert is a very funny and kind person. Liked this experience very much, the people of the town are also very welcoming even though the town is small I found it nice and peaceful and close to some cities/towns to visit! Would recommend if you're looking for nature, peace, slow quiet nice lifestyle. Lovely regards to the cooking angel that visits Sigbert every now and then... ✨️ The work with the garden is easy and flexible depending much more on the weather.

Is the perfect place to be quiet and relax. Sigbert is so kind and funny. H's always in a good mood. I extended my stay a week more, so I was in him home 3 weeks and I enjoyed a lot this experience. The workdays and the times was respected and I was able to decide at what times I did the tasks. This was great for me. Definitely, is a volunteering that I won't forget and I am very grateful to have been part of it.
