Visiting the Barracks
Post-Collapse Living ​
​
Every part of what you understand about modern life, every interaction you have with any organisation, structure or individual outside your own family is going to change.
There are not many places in the world where you can explore the meaning of this truth in such an open and intimate setting.
We offer Work-Stay rooms only when the vegetable patch is starting to give us a lot of food​
​
Please be aware that during your stay here, you are on a working farm. It is a self-sufficient farm, not a commercial one, but work needs to be done for the survival of the experiment and this takes precedence over the individuals in it.
​
Ben is always available for chats, but during the day, he will mostly be ridiculously busy, or having a siesta.
​
If you want to help out with general tasks, or karma yoga, a trusted long-time volunteer will be assigned to you when you want to pitch in, and you can shadow them.

The rooms will be ready for August 1st. It feels a bit strange posting such "in progress" photos, but trust me, they are going to look awesome.
Each room is unique in design and feel. Each one represents a different facet of the complexity or the history of The Barracks

Neighbours
We are quite remote ...​
​
If you want to come here as a base to explore Germany, you had better bring a car.
Cycling is fun, but we live at the local maximum elevation. Going anywhere is fun, but coming back is always uphill.
​
The nearest shop is 6km away. You don't want to cycle it unless you are pretty bike-fit, but it's a nice walk (hastag: HILLY!)
Our closest Post Office is more like 8km, and the nearest town with more than one shop is 20km.
Three cities are around 140km away - Leipzig and Prague being two of them.
​
There is a restaurant two villages away, but it's not re-opened since Covid and if you're into your vegetarian / vegan food, then you aren't going to like this place much. I'm not sure if the "hotel bar" in the valley is open. I don't go there.
​
There is a pizza place which delivers here, but they can never quite find it, so everything is slightly cold when it gets here, and you need to place a minimum order of 50 Euros to convince them to come all the way into the middle of the forest.
​
We only offer full board for the basic reason that there isn't an alternative!
