Build a ‘Barefoot’ Path in Zarosice (Czech Republic)

ONLY A FEW SPACES LEFT (do to a last minute cancellation)

Zarosice extinct medieval settlement

The working holiday: This is a unique opportunity to leave a footprint on rural village life! Participants will be building a ‘barefoot’ path in front of a village museum in the centre of Zarosice, near Brno, eastern Czech Republic. The work will be predominantly manual – digging and moving earth, laying stones and other construction materials. Everyone will be encouraged to use their creativity and leave a permanent imprint of their individual input. There are many opportunities for leisure and social activities – the museum presents the history of Czech and Moravian rural life and you will be able to try some of the age-old traditions and techniques. Look forward to swimming in a pond within the woods, walks to sites of medieval villages and visiting local craftspeople (blacksmith, potter, wine-maker). Zarosice is close to Slavkov-Austerlitz, known for the 1805 Battle of Austerlitz.

Accommodation: In a local tourist lodging house. Bedding is provided, participants must bring their own towels. Full board is included in the price and meals will be served at the village pub.

Dates: 12/07/2015 – 19/07/2015
Price: £100
