The Ecolodge is run by the [[kuckucksmuehle:start|Kuckucksmühle]] community which is part of [[:start|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.
