Project: The wine-growing town of Lorch is located within the Upper Mid-Rhine Valley region of the Rheingau which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its idyllic countryside, mediaeval towns, castles and stately homes. Your tasks in this beautiful part of the country will be many and diverse.
Work: "Biotopes" (the habitats of indigenous small creatures) need to be cleared of intruding undergrowth; you'll build a narrow wooden bridge across the Grolochbach (a small stream) and create resting areas and wooden benches within the network of footpaths in the forest. In addition, some cultural and maintenance works are included in your programme. And if you're interested, you can take part in the "2nd IJGD Soccer Tournament" and take part in excursions to learn about nature conservation. During your free time, you could visit the nearby cities of Wiesbaden and Mainz which offer excellent leisure facilities, take boat trips on the Rhine or go to local wine tasting sessions.
Accommodation: You'll stay in a school.
Catering: Done by the group.
