Maintain a beautiful biosphere area while learning about “Waldpädagogik” (forest education). During two weeks, you support the forest school “Waldschulheim Indelhausen” ["Forest School Indelhausen"], a place of non-formal environmental education for school classes. This project has two objectives:

1) Help the foresters with diverse environmental tasks every morning (2,5 to 3h), which will help to protect the surrounding biosphere area
2) Learn about forest education and if you are interested, contribute to the forest school’s educative program yourself

Increase your knowledge about forests and learn about how it is transmitted to young people in Germany! In the mornings you work outside with the foresters gaining experience and know-how about how to preserve a forest, and in the afternoons you will participate to different workshops about climate change, the forest ecosystem, and forest economy or biodiversity conservation. Actively preserving the forest and learning why it is essential to do it go hand in hand; this is why the workshops about forest education in the afternoons are as important as the practical work outside in the mornings. If you’re interested, you will have the possibility to co-organize workshops relating to forest education for your group.

Kost og logi

On the first night (July 19-20), you stay at a youth hostel located in Ulm. After, from July 20 until the end of the work camp you stay at the forest school.

At the forest school you are accommodated in shared rooms (2 to 8 beds). The building is quite big: there is a dining room, a common room where you can relax or play games, bathroom facilities with shared showers as well as a gym hall, a volleyball court, table tennis tables, and two climbing walls. Meals will be provided by the school, so you don't have to cook by yourself. The forest school tries its best to serve local and organic food.

Please note: There will be vegetarian and vegan options but we need to know about your needs in advance! Please inform us of any dietary restrictions or allergies you may have.

Lastly, there is little phone reception in the forest school. WiFi is provided but it is quite slow – you will be able to exchange messages but streaming videos will most likely not function. Be ready for a digital detox!

Volunteers will take part in seasonal maintenance and site care activities that support the everyday functioning and long-term preservation of Lohra Castle and its surrounding grounds. The work focuses on keeping the historic ensemble and its open spaces accessible, safe, and well maintained.
Tasks include mowing and collecting overgrown grass, clearing organic material from paths and public areas, maintaining open spaces around the castle buildings, and assisting with the cleaning and upkeep of communal halls and shared facilities.
Although the project does not involve technical heritage conservation, the work plays an essential role in sustainable heritage management. Through their contribution, volunteers support the continued use of the castle for cultural, educational, and community activities, whose income is reinvested into conservation and restoration programmes.

Kost og logi

Volunteers will be accommodated in small historic service buildings within the castle complex, in shared rooms with simple but adequate facilities. Rooms are arranged for 2–5 people. Showers and toilets are available, with limited hot water. The overall living conditions are basic, reflecting the historic character of the site.
A fully equipped communal kitchen is located in a separate historic building near the accommodation. Meals are prepared collectively as part of community life, and each participant will be involved in cooking during the stay. Volunteers are encouraged to bring recipes from their home countries to share food traditions with the group.
Accommodation and food during the project are provided by the hosting organisation. Any participation fees charged by sending organisations are not transferred to the host and remain with the sending organisation.

Beliggenhed og fritid

Lohra Castle is located in northern Thuringia, close to the Harz low mountain range, in a rural area characterised by forests, hills, and protected natural landscapes. The castle has medieval origins dating back to the 11th century and developed over several centuries from a fortified complex into a mixed residential and agricultural ensemble. Notable features include a Romanesque double-floored chapel from the 12th century, traces of medieval fortifications and towers, a Renaissance-era manor house, and later farm buildings from the 19th and early 20th centuries. After decades of abandonment, the site has been gradually revitalised since the 1990s and today functions as a place for cultural activities, education, and volunteer-based site care.
The next small towns are Bleicherode (approx. 6 km) and Nordhausen (approx. 20 km). The castle stands slightly above the surrounding villages and is reached via a forest road and walking paths.
The workcamp takes place in a quiet, countryside setting. Volunteers should not expect urban leisure infrastructure, but rather a nature-oriented environment and simple village surroundings. In their free time, participants can go for walks or hikes in the protected natural area, relax at the castle, or organise informal group activities such as games, music evenings, campfires, or shared cooking.
Depending on the group’s interests, short excursions to nearby towns or cultural sites can be organised together during the stay.

Arrangeret af

Open Houses is a non-profit network that has organised international volunteer workcamps and building projects at historic sites in Germany since the mid-1980s. Its work is rooted in the idea of opening historic places as spaces for common responsibility, intercultural exchange, and non-commercial encounter.
The organisation supports the revitalisation and long-term care of historic buildings and cultural landscapes through volunteer engagement, focusing on everyday maintenance, small-scale renovation, and community-based use of heritage sites. Rather than acting as a sole operator, Open Houses works as an initiator and facilitator, cooperating with site owners, local actors, and partner organisations.
At Lohra Castle, Open Houses coordinates volunteer-based site care and ensures that the castle remains a living place for cultural activities, educational initiatives, and international exchange. The organisation provides overall project coordination, accommodation, work supervision, and group support throughout the workcamp.

Rejsevejledning til mødested

The meeting point is the bus stop Großlohra – Friedrichslohra / Wartehalle.
If you arrive by train, travel to Gebra / Hainleite railway station. From the station, walk a few metres in the direction of the village to the nearby bus stop and take bus 29 in the direction of Nordhausen. Get off at Friedrichslohra / Wartehalle.
If you miss the bus, it is possible to walk from Gebra / Hainleite towards the castle area (approx. 1 hour). The route includes a steep uphill section, therefore light and easy-to-carry luggage is strongly recommended.
Detailed arrival information and exact arrival times will be sent to selected volunteers in advance.

Yderligere detaljer

Volunteers should be motivated to take part in physically active outdoor work and be prepared for simple living conditions in a rural environment. Flexibility, a cooperative attitude, and willingness to participate in everyday community tasks (such as cooking and cleaning) are essential.
The work takes place in all weather conditions, including rain and cooler days. Participants should bring appropriate clothing and sturdy work shoes.
The project is suitable for volunteers who are interested in heritage, nature, and community life, and who are open to intercultural exchange. Previous experience is not required.

Arbejde

The European Heritage Volunteers Project at the Waldlust Hotel in 2026 continues earlier engagements at the site and concentrates on the care, management, and gradual recovery of the historic hotel park. Participants will engage in practical landscape conservation aimed at restoring the readability and safe use of the designed woodland environment that once formed part of the spa experience.
Work will focus on the selective clearing of invasive and self-seeded vegetation that obscures historic paths, terraces, and sightlines, as well as on the maintenance of pathways and the stabilisation of stone-built elements such as steps, edging, and retaining walls. These measures are intended to secure existing structures, reveal characteristic spatial features, and support the park’s continued use while respecting its historically evolved character.
Particular attention will be given to understanding the interaction between natural growth and designed landscape features, allowing participants to engage with conservation challenges specific to historic parks. Through this work, the project highlights approaches to maintaining culturally shaped landscapes as living environments that require ongoing care rather than reconstruction.

Kost og logi

Accommodation:
The participants will be lodged at the famous Waldlust Hotel in the historic rooms that have been rehabilitated to host guests. They will sleep in shared rooms and all basic necessities are covered.
Food:
The meals will be prepared together as they are part of the community life, what means that every participant will be responsible for the meal at least once during its stay. So, it would be very nice if the participants could bring typical recipes from home in order to introduce each other to the preparation of food from all over the world.
Insurance:
In cases of accident and liability all participants from foreign countries are insured by Open Houses. Nevertheless, individual travel insurance is recommended. Participants from outside European Union are insured in cases of illness, too. Participants from the European Union should bring their European Health Insurance Card.
Finances
All costs linked to the project are covered, including food, accommodation, insurance and transportation during the stay at the project. Travel costs to and from the camp place are not covered. Participants should organise their journey to and from the project place by themselves and on their own expenses. Furthermore, participants should bring their own pocket money.

Beliggenhed og fritid

The Waldlust Hotel in Freudenstadt, founded in 1899, is a representative example of late 19th-century hospitality architecture in the northern Black Forest and reflects the development of spa culture and health tourism that shaped the town’s growth. Conceived as a grand resort, it became one of Freudenstadt’s leading establishments, closely associated with the Luz family, a hotelier dynasty that operated renowned hotels in Freudenstadt, Baden-Baden, and Austria. After a renewed period of use following the Second World War, the hotel gradually lost its original function and today stands as an important testimony to this phase of social and cultural history. The building is currently cared for by the Friends of Waldlust Association, which is committed to safeguarding the structure and exploring future cultural uses. Surrounding the hotel is a historic park with promenades, terraced paths, stairways, and sandstone retaining walls that once formed part of the guest experience. Although partially overgrown, the landscape preserves the spatial framework of its original design and illustrates the connection between spa architecture and leisure landscapes in the Black Forest.

Arrangeret af

Open Houses is a non-profit network dedicated to the preservation and reactivation of historic buildings and sites as shared cultural spaces. Rather than treating heritage as static or purely commemorative, Open Houses understands historic places as environments shaped through continued use, dialogue, and collective responsibility. The organisation initiates and supports projects that combine hands-on conservation with cultural, educational, and community-oriented activities, enabling sites to remain physically accessible and socially meaningful. The main objective of Open Houses is to reactivate historic sites as living parts of their communities, supported by international volunteers who contribute to their conservation and rehabilitation through practical engagement.
The origins of the organisation date to the mid-1980s, when volunteer groups in East Germany began restoring endangered village churches. These efforts quickly evolved beyond repair work into the reanimation of the buildings as lived spaces for exhibitions, music, discussion, and communal engagement. This approach (linking practical preservation with active participation) remains central to Open Houses today.
European Heritage Volunteers is an international programme network initiated and administered by Open Houses to extend these objectives across Germany and beyond. Conceived as a platform for capacity building in the heritage field, it brings together students, emerging professionals, and skilled craftspeople to participate in hands-on conservation projects, training courses, and educational initiatives at heritage sites. The programme combines practical work, such as traditional building techniques, landscape conservation, documentation, and maintenance, with structured learning components addressing heritage theory, site management, and cultural context. Implemented in cooperation with site owners, conservation authorities, and partner organisations, European Heritage Volunteers functions as a bridge between professional heritage practice and international exchange, fostering the transmission of traditional skills, interdisciplinary learning, and shared responsibility for the safeguarding of cultural heritage.

This camp allows volunteers to learn about global and local environmental issues through non-formal activities such as workshops, discussions, presentations and visits, as well as to contribute directly to environment protection by joining outdoor cleanup tasks.
These cleanup tasks may be arranged in partnership with the above mentioned organisations or run solely by SEEDS. We also aim to involve the local community, so some of our events may be open to the public. We hope participants will learn how to plan and carry out their own trash cleaning projects back at home. This project is based on similar activities around the world, where outstanding results have been achieved with volunteers. Volunteers can choose one of the two options below, included as hands-on volunteering activity in the camp:
A day trip combining a visit to the Hellisheiði geothermal power plant, a trash collection in the area, and the Hot River Hike, a hike up a valley filled with hot springs where one can bathe.
A day trip to the Reykjanes Peninsula, combined with a coastal cleanup in the area.
Please note that all activities are subject to weather conditions and the availability of our partners.
This camp combines learning, sharing, hands-on work and fun. No previous experience is needed. Volunteers should prepare to share environmental issues from their countries and be ready to spend time outdoors, walking medium to long distances during the cleanups, and during other activities such as sightseeing. Since a part of the project happens outdoors, volunteers should be ready to adapt and be flexible with the work and free-time schedule. Depending on the weather, we may not be able to perform some of the activities as planned.
