The Experience

We are building a community that wants to live sustainably, ecologically and almost self-sufficiently. We need help from nice people who can chop and stack wood for our heating system. Further help is needed in the area of shaping the garden such as moving soil, digging, lawn mowing and planting. For 2024, we are happy to receive applications from couples who can share our guest room with private bathroom. Solo volunteers are also welcome.

It was my first Worldpackers experience, and I highly recommend it. There I could work with housekeeping, cleaning and my favorite: gardening. It is a huge property, so I did a lot of different things during my three weeks. Also, it is a good place if you are wondering to stay in touch with nature. the lodge Sonnemeer is located ery close to the sea, and it is extremely calm, I loved it. Thank you, Hans and Ulrich, for having me there 🤗

I don't have enough words to say thanks to Ulrike and Hans for having us, our time there was incredible! I will miss the entire place but especially the chats with them and the absolutely delicious food cooked by Ulrike.

I highly recommend this place, every day you want to freeze time so that the experience does not end. You can learn many new things and also have enough time to get to know the village and other surrounding towns. Ulrike and Hans are very welcoming and the accommodation is beautiful and the food is so delicious.

I have really enjoyed my time at the lodge, the hosts Ulrike and Hans are so friendly and welcoming. They provided a really nice place to stay, we're flexible with hours and really helped me with my german (because I wanted to learn more) but they also speak amazing English. The area was so nice, and you can get to the sea or lakes within 10-20 minutes on the bikes provided.

For many reasons this was the best experience I've had so far, my only regret is having been there for a short time. Ulrike and Hans are very loving people, I loved every day I was there. I 100% recommend this experience and I would love to return. I had a deep connection with nature, it is a quite calm and wonderful place. I only have to thank😍
