Info on the Haxthäuser Hof

Accommodation

There is lots of space for camping in your own tent, car, mobile home etc.:  5 €/person/night for camping, shower and breakfast. There are hotels & hostels in the neighboring villages.

Wi-Fi & open payments

At the out-back of the Haxthäuser Hof there is no Wi-Fi and a very poor internet connection via roaming. Therefore, it’s not possible to pay anything by card.
If you still need to pay for the tent please bring cash. As well as for the drinks at the bar or book sales.

Children

 We are happy if you bring your children with you. 
Untill the age of 18 there are no participation fees, but there is - if camping as mentioned above - 5 €/person/night for camping, shower and breakfast, as well as 5 €/person/day for food (lunch, dinner and cake).

Please make sure that your kids do not disturb the lectures and other events. During the symposium parents are responsible for their children and liable for any damage that may occur.

Drinking water & shower

As the tap water on location is from a well and not safe for consumption, we will provide drinking water in tanks. Please bring your own refillable water bottle!!
To cover the high cost of the ablutions trailer, we ask that everyone staying at Haxthäuser Hof - both those sleeping in their own tent/camper/car and those renting a tent - contributes 5€/person/night.
Thank you for your understanding.

Part of the programm is the famous ‘Schmucktisch’. This is an open invitation for all participants to bring some of your jewellery to put on the table: for everyone to look, touch, try on and discuss.
