The purpose of this location is to create a socio-eductional domain with place for permaculture, allotment gardens,
a co-working space with studios and offices, all kinds of workshops and events, a food forest, folk cuisine, exhibiting alternative forms of living, and much more. These activities include all kinds of relaxation and learning opportunities for young and old.
Everything is aimed at raising awareness about society and offering an alternative for our contemporary consumer society. We strive for a self-sufficient life in the broadest sense of the word.
