PROJECT: Edith von Allmen and Raphael Zuberbuehler are the owners of the farm called Buehlmatt in Teuffenthal. They live there with their children, but not only with them. Buehlmatt is also the home for 2-3 adults with mental health problems. Buehlmatt offers those people professional care, work on the farm and a home. The second part of the Workcamp is organised by the "Uferschutzverband Thuner- und Brienzersee" who takes care of the cultural landscape in the area of the Lake of Thun and the Lake of Brienz. One big and ongoing project is to maintain the old pilgrim-path. It is part of the famous trails leading to Santiago de Compostela. In order to maintain the path there is a project called “Treffpunkt Pilgerweg”. In this project the help of volunteers is needed. This year, there will be two places open for Volunteers with any kind of physical, mental or social handicap.
WORK: On the farm "Buehlmatt", Volunteers will do environmental work around the forest. They will for example help to cut and prepare firewood for the winter months. The work will depend on the needs of the family and the weather. During the second week the volunteer-task is to build a dry stone wall. An expert of dry stone walls will show you how it’s done. Volunteers in this project need to be physically strong, patient and have an interest in manual work.
ACCOMODATION: On the farm "Buehlmatt" Volunteers will live in dormitories in a separate house, where they have a kitchen and a toilet outside. There is no bathroom and Volunteers have to wash themselves with cold water from the nearby fountain. The place is far away from a big city and perfect for nature lovers. In the second week Volunteers will also sleep in dormitories in an apartment. Usually, Volunteers have to prepare the meals, are responsible for their own cleaning and need to respect the host’s house rules.
LOCATION: Teuffenthal (close to Thun) is located in the pre-Alps. Teuffenthal consists of farm houses spread across the hills. Thun is a bit more than 10 km away. Thun is a charming little town with a stunning view on the lake and the mountains. The location of the second week is along the right lake side of the Lake of Thun. You can discover a lot of beautiful places like the caves “Beatus” or visit the close by alp town Interlaken.
REMARKS/ SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS: No alcohol and no drugs are allowed inside and around the farm "Buehlmatt". If anyone breaks this rule, (s)he will have to leave the camp immediately. The motivation of the volunteers has to be very high to work outdoors. That’s why a Motivation Letter for this Workcamp is required. Volunteers should bring along warm, robust working clothes, sun and rain protection and good shoes to work.
FREE TIME ACTIVITIES: In their leisure time volunteers can go for a hike in the nearby mountains. This region is famous for hiking tourists. There are many hiking trails close by. It’s also possible to visit Thun or Interlaken on the weekend.
