The Ecolodge

The Ecolodge is a vibrant community space, offering the opportunity to experience the idyllic peaceful North Brandenburg countryside to a wide range of individuals, families, groups and organisations.

The Ecolodge is run by the Kuckucksmühle community which is part of Eco Hacker Farm. All profits made through courses, events, rentals and any other activities go towards the repair and upkeep of the Kuckucksmühle estate which includes the Ecolodge to ensure that the space remains available as a center for education, regenerative culture, creativity and healing.

There are many possibilities for people to learn more about themselves, others and the world around them as well as taking time off to regenerate your energies.

Children

We are happy to welcome children in our community spaces. Please keep in mind there are large dogs in the yard and open streams that go along side the property, we ask that the children's guardians be present with them when they go into these areas.

Smoking & narcotics

We would kindly ask all visitors to refrain from consuming narcotics (tobacco and weed included) on site. If you do wish to smoke please do so outside and away from others. We want to keep the space open and welcoming to all in a way that everyone is able to enjoy it.

We kindly ask you not to bring your pets with you as we are already at capacity with the animals on site. Bear in mind that the space is designed to welcome as many people as possible and some may be affected by allergies to pet hair.

All prices include access to auxiliary areas listed for the relevant time period.

In order to keep the space welcoming to all groups we organise 1 volunteer week per year to paint and make the place look nice for the rest of the year. Accommodation during volunteer week is camping and donations for meals are welcome. In the evenings after dinner there will be space for volunteers to share their artistic and musical skills with others, in the Meditation garden or the bakery depending on the weather and the size of the group.
