As we do every year, we’ll gather in the orchard. Dance floor in the open air, campfire area, construction trailer, outdoor kitchen, and composting toilet. Shower facilities and a “regular” toilet are also available in the log cabin (“Mökki”). Please note: May is pollen season. There are grasses all around.
Free-roaming female dogs, sheep behind a pasture fence, and running ducks.

Asian elements, blues, reggae, and country music make up his setlist. He alternates between original songs and cover songs. Ralf likes to decide spontaneously what he’ll play, so you’ll never experience a concert quite like this again!

Saturday:
6:00 p.m. Live music with Ilchmanns & Friends
Music has always been a part of both of our lives. This time, we’re bringing two friends along, packing up a few instruments, and taking the stage together. We’ve put together a colorful mix of songs that are close to our hearts and that we think are perfect for a balmy spring evening in the garden. There are classics and old favorites, catchy tunes, and songs that touch the heart. We’ll be performing covers of songs about life and survival. And, of course, we can’t avoid the topic of love either.
We are: // Ms. Ilchmann: guitar, vocals, saxophone, recorder// Mr. Ilchmann: piano, ukulele, vocals, harp, melodica// Ernst F.: guitar// Ines L.: vocals//
Sunday:
Breakfast
together, winding down, packing, tidying up, saying goodbye
