| Six families live at Tranehøj in a community that is more than simply living under the same roof.
We try to base our everyday lives on the principles of ecology, sustainability, and fair trade, at the same time striving to make Tranehøj a resource base for activities related to the world around us--locally as well as globally. We are this actively involved at the local culture centre, Gimle, and in the local environmental group, the Green Council.
Each family has an accommodation unit with a kitchenette. We share the bathrooms and have a common dining room, TV room, guest room, workroom, playroom, music room, and workshops--as well as masses of space outdoors.
We have sheep and goats, hens and geese, and an organic orchard. In addition to this we have a large kitchen garden, which provides us with vegetables most of the year.
We take turns to cook, and eat together on weekdays. We share ordinary day-to-day duties, and have a work weekend once a month, when we carry out maintenance on the buildings, dig the garden, work on joint projects, etc. During the year we also follow various traditions together: Shrovetide, Midsummer, Harvest Festival, and the New Year.
As a member of Servas, Tranehøj receives guests from other countries with great pleasure. We are in the process of building a shelter and a primitive campsite where cycling tourists will be able to spend the night. | Contact: beboerne
