Work exchange in the Allgäu
The Allgäu is Bavaria's postcard alpine region: lush pastures, traditional dairies and mountain views from Oberstdorf to Lake Constance. Work exchange here mostly means helping on farms and alpine huts with cows, cheesemaking and haymaking, plus support in holiday flats and guesthouses around Kempten, Sonthofen and Füssen. Some hosts need a hand in the garden or with horses, others offer house sitting while they go hiking themselves – free accommodation for a few hours of daily help.
