In partnership with

The workcamp is organised by a group of local volunteers dedicated to strengthening community life through creativity, culture, tradition, and nature conservation. They organise events for all generations, plant mulberry trees, and run a travelling teahouse connected to local cultural activities. The main goal of the workcamp is to expand a local nature reserve, support the creation of a new park, and contribute to the creation of a mural that enhances public space. Through these activities, the project supports UN Sustainable Development Goal 15: Life on Land by promoting biodiversity, care for natural areas, and sustainable use of the landscape.

The workcamp takes place in a small village surrounded by nature on the edge of the Blaník Protected Landscape Area. Basic services such as a shop, restaurant, and swimming area are located about 3 km away in Louňovice pod Blaníkem. The site itself is a restored wetland biotope with pools, renewed in 2024 to retain water in the landscape and support endangered plant and animal species. The area also includes nearby historical sites such as a former gold mine and chateaux.

Leisure activities may include a trip to the natural swimming pool in Louňovice and a hike to the legendary Blaník mountain, known for its myths and a lookout tower at the top. Volunteers can also visit Zlatodol Roudný, a historic site that was once one of the most profitable gold mines in Europe.
