Treehouse Eco Village

and much more...

On the Adventure Hill - adjacent to the sea view neighbouring the Aeolian Islands – we will create a "tree house village" connected with jungle bridges. We rehabilitate an old abandoned settlement, as well as a farm, for free life and special eco holidays, as well as for animal-assisted therapy with donkeys, horses, mules and ponies. There will also be an extensive climbing park, including wooden towers and castles. A picturesque & exciting eco adventure park.

Currently, we continue with our pioneering work. It's simple hand work – building, gardening, farming – and therefore exhilarating to create things with your own hands.

The Adventure Hill is surrounded by wild forests on a good 20 hectares of land. There is more than sufficient free living space for creative craftsmanship, as well as retreats for humans and animals. Here are some of the many views of the lush green forests of the Adventure Hill:

Live like Robinson Crusoe on a sunny island; though much better...as without cannibals;

...instead very warm hearted Sicilian natives.


The land borders on one of the largest nature reserves with numerous beautiful sights. From the famous pilgrimage sanctuaryTindari, the 3000 year old Greek settlement Tyndaris, to the lakes of Marinello and the natural beaches that end in a breathtaking blue lagoon.

 



Thanks to our sponsors, partners & new friends, we now continue to make good progress. We work together with Si.LegnoPiu - Sicily's largest timber trader & house builder. The owner Carmelo Agnello became a good friend and is full of enthusiasm for the adventure project. "The most interesting thing I've ever heard, I'm into it." From him we get high quality chestnut wood. We process the trees in its sawmill and form beams & planks. It 's a great feeling when you make everything yourself from the beginning. Old-fashioned handwork, implemented in time.

During the last two years, we were able to stock pile some building material. With architects and engineers, we put the first construction projects to paper. We are currently building the first wooden houses. In the future, the creation of the most exciting adventure park in Europe will stand on the Adventure Hill.

Here are some examples of tree houses as we will build them:

Currently on Facebook, soon on our new website. (Here are some building plans.)

 


In order to realize the upcoming construction projects, we are looking forward to active support. The wages are happy children, a more open society with a strong awareness of the environment, as well as the opportunity to live in a social exchange - almost without money. In any case, an unforgettable eco holiday of a special kind; in which man and woman can accomplish good at the same time. At least once Goethe recommended to wander on Sicily.

Focus on the island is, of course, towards good old-fashioned craftsmanship. For the Adventure Hill, you do not have to be a professional craftsman or have studied architecture. It is enough if you want to create something with your hands and participate in a social society. Landscape gardeners, permaculturists as well as people with knowledge & interest in natural medicine, renewable energies, the environment and animals are also welcome.


We welcome simply all who like to craft and create, and those with an interest in;
architecture, carpentery, building, engineering, bricklaying, blacksmithery, welding,  tailoring, shoemaking,

Let's keep old trades alive!

Eco-friendly adventure tours



We go on eco tours to connect people with other social organizations and communities. The goal is that people can live freely in many different places all over the world. Sounds crazy? We simply live our dreams and help others realize theirs

We will also build a sailing ship to cross the seven seas.



TV companies are interested in creating a documentary series, though we also have our own film team. Video makers, as well as specialists in public relations and social marketing, are equally welcome to join the EA Team.

You will find the Eco Adventure Hill in the middle of the greenest nature area of the sunny island - on the north side of Sicily - directly in the front of the *Aeolian Islands*.

The most common point of view below our Adventure Hil is *Tindari*, a very famous sanctuary. Underneath in Locanda you will find one of the best saloons, called "Pane e Vino", with all the cheese and sausages of the region, delicious barbecue and good house wine as well as a weekly Sicilian live music.

From there a few hundred meters up you come to the small mountain village *Scala di Patti* with picturesque landscape - and just above there is our wild land, which you enter in the *Contrada Lupa* (the way of the wolves)...

 

How to arrive to our Adventure Base Camp:

By train: The next train station is by the coast in the little city PATTI, 10 kilometers from our land the station is called "PATTI (SAN PIERO PATTI)".

Because our Adventure Hill is 350 meters above sea level we recommend a donkey, a car or the bus for you & your luggage. Of course you can also walk - at least there is a really nice view to the Aeolien Islands. A taxi driver will ask for 20 euro (you can try to bargain), the bus is about 3 euro (but no bus in the evening). Perhaps also friends from us can pick you up - therefore let us now in advance when you will arrive. (For the gasoline + expenses 5 to 10 euro.) ...Our donkey Hercules can take your luggage and perhaps also you for free - it costs only time. ;-) (3 - 5 hours.)

There is a bus from PATTI (SAN PIERO PATTI) train station directly to our land. The bus goes in the morning about 8 o clock and at midday about 12 o clock. During school term time also about 13:30. Its Sicily - so the times are changing from time to time. ;-) And sunday there is no bus. :-(

 

By car from Italy:
We recommend the Highway up to *Falcone*, then on the SS 113 up to Locanda (direction Tindari) left at the crossroad until *Scala di Patti*, then again left, always following the mountain road (about 700 meter) until you find on the left our garden with the sign "Eco Avventura".

 

Clicking on the map you will come virtually directly to us.

 

By Plane:

There are four international airports in Sicily:
Falcone-Borsellino Airport in Palermo,
Catania-Fontanarossa in Catania
Vincenzo Florio Airport 15 km south of Trapani
and the Airport at Comiso.

The Adventure Hill is between Palermo and Catania. Sometimes you can find special offers for the airport near Trapani, but it takes longer then by bus & train. (2 hours to Palermo.) and Comiso is on the other side (south) of Sicily.

Also from "REGGIO DI CALABRIA Aerop. Dello Stretto (REG)" came volunteers. It is the closest airport from mainland Italy, next to Sicily. - Then you have to take a ferrie from "Villa San Giovanni" to Messina and from there by train or bus to "Patti, San Piero Patti".

Many cowboys riding on their horses.

 

The ultimate adventure! Horseback Riding through the world. 7 years in the saddle. Through North America to the south, across the Australian continent, through Africa, then Asia up to Russia and from there back to Europe and the sunny Island Sicily - on our Adventure Mountain. The whole journey in seven stages, each is during a good year.

 

Come on, saddle up and ride with us!

Three cowboys horseback riding long the beach in to the sunset.

Soon more.

 

...Now it goes first around the sunny island Sicily with our great donkey Hercules - there he enjoys the amazing panorama view...

Hercule enjoys the lovely panorama view in the sicilian mountains.

 

Also there and even on the Europe Tour with an sicilian cart you can join us.

 

 

...While we finish the cart Hercules enjoys the other tours round the sunny island...

Hercules with great smile.

unfortunately not all equines are so lucky to go on exciting journeys...

Hercules meets ponies.

...and that where a bath in the sand next the sea is sooo wonderfull relaxing...

 Lucky Hercules! :-) ...you want to join us? - Live the adventure of your life!

Adventure is a path...

Explore. Dream. Discover!

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. - By Mark Twain.
