Summary

It sizzles, blazes, smells and sizzles - and tastes simply fantastic!
We invite you to a special weekend around the campfire, where we cook, carve, work, gather, marvel, tell stories - and experience much more together. Wrap up your appetite for nature and adventure: Wilderness in, chow down, enjoy!

Fire cooking weekend with bushcraft and campfire cooking:
These days are all about the element of fire. We'll be inspired by traditional and international cuisines and conjure up simple yet sophisticated dishes together over an open fire - with something for every taste.

In addition to cooking, we immerse ourselves in the world of bushcraft: We will carve our own cooking utensils, build cooking racks and try out different fire-making techniques - without any modern tools.

We end the evening by the crackling fire with a festive meal from the wilderness kitchen, refined with herbs we have collected ourselves from nature. A weekend full of campfire romance, crafts, closeness to nature and culinary discoveries awaits you.

Accommodation

The site is picturesquely situated on the hills of the Westerwald at the edge of the forest. The fully equipped barbecue hut offers us sufficient shelter even in bad weather. If you don't want to camp, you can spend the night in the hut on your own sleeping mat or air mattress. This can be heated by a wood-burning stove. There are no separate rooms, just a simple dormitory.

Next to the hut is a tent meadow where you can spend the night in your own tent, tarp, hammock... If you don't have a tent, we can provide you with one for the event (rental fee 15€). The pitch rental etc. is of course already included in the participation fee. Toilets are located directly on the hut site.

Equipment: We want to defy nature and the weather with joy, so the course takes place outside and in all weathers. You will receive a packing list from us after registration.

Catering

We love good, tasty and conscious food. That's why we serve refined, vegetarian and vegan cuisine with high-quality ingredients that we prepare together over an open fire. Look forward to chillies, curries, salads, sandwiches grilled over the fire, great breakfast pans with eggs, fresh cinnamon buns and much more!
Water, coffee, tea, fresh fruit, nuts and cookies are always available. If you have any allergies/intolerances, please let us know. We are happy to adapt the meal planning to special needs.

sequence

Fire cooking - what you can expect:

Immerse yourself in the world of campfire cooking! The focus of our weekend is on cooking, chopping, tasting and, of course, enjoying together around an open fire. Let yourself be inspired by fragrant dishes from different cultures - simple, creative and, above all, really tasty. We will show you the basics of cooking over the fire and give you lots of practical tips and tricks to use at home. We deliberately focus on vegetarian and vegan recipes - colorful, fresh and full of flavor.

Bushcraft and wilderness crafts:

But it's not just the kitchen that's waiting for you - there's plenty of wild craftsmanship too! We immerse ourselves in the art of bushcraft: learn how to light a fire without modern tools, carve our own spoons and cooking aids, practise tying knots and build a small outdoor kitchen in the forest using simple materials. On forays through nature, we discover edible wild plants, listen to the sounds of the forest and let the evenings come to a relaxed end with the sound of a guitar and the glow of a campfire.

Experience community:

What makes this weekend special is the togetherness. We create space for real encounters, good conversations and shared experiences. Everyone is welcome, just as they are - with whatever they bring with them. We deliberately keep the group size small so that an open and friendly atmosphere can develop.

Nature time for the soul:

Leave everyday life behind you and immerse yourself in a weekend full of nature, tranquillity and new experiences. Between trees, flames and birdsong, it's easy to take a deep breath, clear your head and simply be in the moment - without a reception, but with a great connection to nature.

All-round care:

So that you can concentrate fully on the experience, we take care of the rest: you will receive a practical packing list, directions and, of course, we provide delicious all-round catering. We keep an eye on the weather, are on hand with help and advice - and if you like, someone will even wake you up for breakfast.

A weekend full of warmth, wilderness, enjoyment and fellowship - come and join us by the fire!
