ArchitectureThe architecture can be described as traditional and contemporary at the same time. The wooden constructions and cladding come from the local larch. Only regional companies were commissioned and all materials come from the surrounding area. In general, no chemical or artificial building materials were used. The interior is of high quality and at the same time designed to be long-lasting, so that a long durability is guaranteed. Nothing has had to be renewed since it opened. The design and the architecture in the boot shaft are connected to nature and serve to make you feel good. There are no superfluous corridors and unnecessary doors, floor-to-ceiling windows let a lot of light into the room. There are also spacious showers with rain showers and wall jets.

SocialEmployees can choose working hours flexibly and earn more than the minimum wage stipulates. In addition, the Bootschaft is part of community initiatives in the region, participates in an educational project for children in Laos and supports SOS Children's Villages.

EnvironmentThe boat crew takes care of the environment: cleaning and care products are ecological, the laundry is dried in the fresh air, garbage is separated, restaurants and shops are within walking distance, so that no car is needed. The energy consumption is minimized by a highly ef fi cient condensing boiler, thermal insulation with ecological materials of the entire outer skin and an intelligent house technology control (heating and light). All technical devices were selected for energy efficiency, among other things. The Boating uses only LED lighting. Directly opposite the house is an FFH area, a special nature and landscape protection area, with rare plants and animal species.
