Basket weaving course from January 22 to 23, 2027 Baskets have been woven in all cultures using a wide variety of materials and techniques. Weaving with willow and other natural materials is one of the oldest crafts. The colors and scents of the different types of willow particularly appeal to our senses and creativity. With the strength of our own hands, we create baskets and other works of art, giving us a sense of inner satisfaction. Fee for the two-day course: € 170,- plus € 30,- for materials. Please register no later than one week before the course begins.

At home outdoors – On the move in the rhythm of the Arctic winter Deeply snow-covered taiga forests, crackling fires, and the magical glow of the Nordic winter: On the Arctic Wilderness Winter Expedition in Sweden, we combine a multi-day snowshoe circuit with hands-on outdoor skills training in sub-zero temperatures. The Arctic winter challenges us, reduces life to the essentials, and offers a clarity rarely found in everyday life. In an exclusive small group and under professional guidance, you’ll learn everything you need to move safely outdoors in winter—with plenty of room for adventure, coziness, and authentic wilderness experiences. This winter outdoor workshop is a practical deep dive into winter trekking, cold management, Arctic bushcraft, and Scandinavian friluftsliv. Among other things, you’ll learn the right layering system, how to start a fire in deep snow, how to melt drinking water from snow and ice, and how to build effective emergency shelters such as snow trenches or caves. We’ll read animal tracks in the snow-covered terrain. Alongside cozy evenings at our permanent base camp, after three days outdoors in the wilderness we’ll reward ourselves with a wood-fired s

One-year, part-time Wildnerness Education I program in Upper Bavaria. 20 workshop days, 6 modules.

Act safely when it matters!<\/strong><\/p> A child falls from a tree. Someone is stung by a wasp and has an allergic reaction. An injury occurs deep in the woods—far from the nearest settlement or car. What should you do now?<\/p> In this training, we prepare you to act safely and calmly in such situations outdoors in nature—whether on group excursions, family outings, or while exercising outdoors.<\/p>

An accident in the middle of nature – what now?  Our outdoor first aid course prepares you thoroughly for emergencies in the wilderness. You’ll learn to act quickly and safely with limited resources and under realistic conditions – whether dealing with a cut, an allergic shock, or a serious fall. The course is for anyone who spends time in nature with groups, children, or on their own – for example, as a wilderness educator, teacher, parent, or outdoor guide. Through practical exercises by day and night, you’ll learn not only life-saving first aid measures, but also how to stay calm, take responsibility, and guide others safely through a crisis. You’ll feel more confident – for your own sake and for those who count on you.

Hiking, walking the dog, horseback riding, cycling, hunting, foraging for mushrooms, jogging, walking, forest bathing—with a forest kindergarten, a wilderness school, or as a forestry worker... there are many reasons why you might be outdoors, whether alone or with a group. Can you provide first aid if it takes a long time for professional emergency services to reach the scene of an accident? Alongside theory and practical sessions, you’ll be assigned to rescue teams for various first-aid scenarios. Through realistic accident simulation (RUD), you’ll get to “rescue” and provide “initial care” to injured people spontaneously and unexpectedly—in other words, in a realistic setting. Over the course of two days, you’ll immerse yourself in first aid and learn about and understand the medical background as well as the practical skills. Your personal outdoor background will also be incorporated into the course.

An outdoor first aid seminar, NOT JUST FOR HUNTERS! But hunters are exposed to particular dangers from firearms, sharp blades, falls while building hunting stands, and diseases transmitted by animals. Group hunts in particular can quickly become dangerous. Tragic hunting accidents, some with fatal outcomes, occur time and again. Many deaths can be prevented through prompt medical action. In an emergency, stress levels rise and rational thinking is impaired. That is why, following the principle “Treat first what kills first!”, we use a standardized approach that enables safe action even in challenging situations. Learn in this first aid course for hunters how to provide help safely and effectively in outdoor emergencies. This course is recognized as “training to become an occupational first aider” and is certified accordingly.
