What awaits you:
The Swabian Alb with its pristine landscape:
- We get to the bottom of historical cultural landscapes, learn about forms of use in the past and landscape conservation today.
- We will gain insights into the regional networking of local stakeholders and the marketing of products that were thought to be extinct.
- We immerse ourselves in the landscape in culture: from landscape painting to dinner plates.
- Together we will consider: What do we actually preserve and why - and is it worth it?
What you should bring with you:
A desire to get to know the landscape of the Swabian Alb in all its facets: from Jurassic rock and the European watershed to transhumance, juniper heath and lentil stew.
