Survival weekend

Survival in the forests of the Eifel

Listening to the sounds of the forest at night, having a breakfast of wild herbs you've gathered yourself in the morning, feeling the warmth of the fire on your skin, preparing your night's camp - that sounds like a unique experience.

Geographer and biologist Jonas or forester Jan will take you into the forest for a weekend and show you what it is like to spend the night under the open sky, to listen to the sounds of the forest at night, to consume only what nature has to offer and what surprises the forest has in store.

Reduced to just a few pieces of equipment, we face the question together: Can humans, as part of nature, still find their way in it?

In a small group of a maximum of eight people, we will spend three days roaming the Eifel forests and embarking on a forest adventure.

From the camp we have set up together, which will serve as our starting point for two days and nights, we will be constantly accompanied by the core elements of warmth from a fire we have lit ourselves and by finding and preparing food from nature.

You will get to know yourself and the forest from a new perspective.

The adventure begins on Friday at 3 p.m. with a short hike to our campsite and ends on the third day at around 10 a.m. at the starting point.

We look forward to sharing a very special forest experience with you.
We reserve the right to cancel the event at short notice if unacceptable weather is forecast.

Please bring the following:

A sleeping bag adapted to the temperature, a (slightly thicker) sleeping mat, a water bottle, a backpack, a flashlight or headlamp, a knife and weatherproof clothing.
