Project: It is the second time the town of Buchen invites an international workcamp. After the success of the last year the group will work on a special UNESCO cultural heritage in the region around Buchen. On request of the nature park association the workcamp?s task is to rebuild the foundation walls of an old Roman watchtower belonging to the "Limes" (=a border defence of Ancient Rome).
Work: The group will work on the rebuilding of a stone wall of the watchtower. In detail that means stones have to be arranged, concrete has to be mixed before setting the wall back in place. The working place is located in the middle of the forest. The group will be supported by professional workers of the building yard department of Buchen.
Accommodation: The participants will stay on a family campsite area called "Eckbuckel" which was rearranged by the workcamp last year. This campsite lies idyllic and isolated outside of Buchen in a cosy village - surrounded by meadows and forests. Beside the cabins that are used as sleeping rooms a separate building with a kitchen and sanitary facilities is available. There is also a place for barbecuing. For more leisure activities the participants are free to use the big sports ground as well as ping-pong tables at the centre. Around 2 km lays a private lake for swimming…
Location: Buchen is a small town located in the north of Baden-Wurttemberg in the forest "Odenwald" with around 18900 inhabitants. Volunteers can enjoy the landscape by hiking or experience the wonders of a stalactite cave. In Buchen you can also find a forest swimming pool and more opportunities for sporting activities. Bigger cities like Stuttgart or Heilbronn are also worth visiting.
