Arbeit

The municipality of Heilsbronn will focus on two different projects to renovate and maintain the town’s infrastructure, with the help of international volunteers:

- Preservation tasks for the “Vita Parcours’” fitness trail: Clear the over-grown plants along the paths and across the different stations, make signs visible, and clean the stations and trails of any leftover trash.

- Renovate the “Barfußpfa” (barefoot path): This path is highly valued and used by the local community, especially by children and families. It includes many different textures such as pebbles, moss, and pine cones. The tasks will require emptying and refilling different sections of the path.

Additional similar projects may be added. You should expect to be working outdoors alongside municipal workers in renovation or construction tasks. Do not worry! No previous experience is required since a professional instructor will be there to provide support and guidance through the different tasks. You will work 30 hour per week between 8am to 4pm from Monday to Friday with a lunchbreak on site.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

You will be staying at the local youth club called "JUZ". The accommodation consists of two large rooms and a smaller one where you will sleep on camp beds or mattresses on the floor. Please bring a sleeping bag!

There is a small kitchen and bar, a common room with sofas and games, two toilets and one bathroom. A washing machine and WiFi connection will also be available.

Expect local youth to visit the club to welcome, show you around, and spend time connecting with the group.

The group of volunteers will be responsible for meal preparation, which includes grocery shopping, cooking and cleaning up afterward. Food will be purchased with the camp budget and tasks will be distributed during the first days to ensure everyone participates. In order to reduce our carbon footprint on the planet, we encourage volunteers to reduce meat and explore other more sustainable dishes.

Lage und Freizeit

Heilsbronn is a town of 9,300 inhabitants, located in the idyllic Bavarian region of Franken (Franconia). As it sits along one of the routes to the famous pilgrimage city of Santiago de Compostela in Spain, it is frequently visited by tourists as well as pilgrims.

Heilsbronn has some historic buildings, including traditional half-timbered houses and the unique "Heilsbronn Abbey"—a 12th-century Cistercian monastery and local cathedral. In the city centre you will find supermarkets, various shops, pubs, youth centre, a barbecue area, and other amenities. Additionally, the town can offer free access to the outdoor swimming pool for your group. Nature lovers will enjoy several hiking trails in the beautiful surrounding landscape.

The nearby cities of Nuremberg, Bamberg, and Rothenburg are also within easy reach and can be visited on weekends using public transportation.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

The town of Heilsbronn has 13 years of experience hosting Workcamps and is eagerly looking forward to welcoming the next group of international volunteers. The enthusiasm and commitment of the local community have inspired neighbouring towns, which are now hosting their own workcamps. Connecting with the community couldn’t be easier!

This year, the community is embarking on an exciting project to ensure that its infrastructure is accessible to everyone. Part of this exciting development includes a fitness trail which residents use year-round for outdoor sports activities. Additionally, for those who enjoy the sensation of grass beneath their feet, there's a special path called the 'Barfußpfad', where you can walk barefoot and experience a variety of textures. Your efforts will contribute to this recognized, sensational experience known across Germany!
