Description

A conservation project in the natural park Frankenwald, of the city Teuschnitz, is in its final stage of realization. In this area, very rare vegetation and animals will find new living space. For the opening, a giant monument / replication of 11m height, of the flower Arnikabluete, made out of natural stone, should be presented.

You will help creating and building this monument. Under professional guidance, you will create a construction plan, place the concrete and do all the groundwork; you will bring up the wall and elaborate the fineness of a flower. During the opening celebration the monument and the park will be inaugurated.

Highlights

The project is based in Bavaria; 100 km away from Nuernberg, close to the state boarders of Bavaria and Thuringia. The cities Teuschnitz, Kronach, Kulmbach, Coburg und Saalfeld and the town centre of Bamberg are UNESCO-world culture heritage and have many interesting places to see. Furthermore you can hike, swing and explore the forest and lakes around the area during your free time. Close to where you are staying, there is a youth centre, where you can participate in many other activities and meet local people.
