Summary: This workcamp is a magical opportunity to do and experience amazing and unusual things that you normally would not get to do in your everyday life.

Partner: The Civil Association Rakociho cesta carries the idea of a touristic path that would connect places related to the history of the Rakoci’s family tree. The aim of the movement is to preserve and renovate historical monuments and traditions. They would like to continue with the original “Rakoci’s path” goal which was to contribute to the development of the region. Rakociho cesta is currently involved in the renovation of the following castles: Saris, Kapusany, Sebes, Solnohrad (Salt Castle), Lipovce and Obisovce. The workcamps are organized with the association since 2008.

Work: Revitalizing the old ruins of the Sebes Castle from 13th century, one of the smallest castles in Slovakia: renovation works, cleaning the area, help with masonry work with the traditional techniques, transport of the material like sand, rocks, and water. The volunteers will help to repair the fence for the goats which are „cleaning“ area around castle from grass and scrubs. The volunteers will learn about castles in Eastern Slovakia. During the workcamp there will be a castle festival where volunteers will help with preparation.

The meeting point will be at the bus stop next to the Cultural House in the village Podhradík near Presov – the 3rd biggest city in Slovakia located in the eastern part of the country. From Presov you can get by bus to the village Podhradík (13 km) – the place of the workcamp. The village is surrounded by beautiful nature with many touristic routes and hiking opportunities.

Terminal: Airport – Vienna, Bratislava, or Kosice; then train or bus to Presov. Then bus to Podhradík. Please keep in mind that the journey from Bratislava to Presov takes up to 8 hours.
