After longer consideration I think it's the better choice to abandon the idea. Such events always require compromises, but within limits. Ana gave a nice small list of essential things, checking it I figured there are too many items where the current situation is too far away from perfect. Like reachability: The railroad to Titisee is closed for renovation, so using the bus for more than an hour. Like internet connection, which turned out to be much thinner than assumed. There is enough LTE coverage but people advised against it. The houseowner is about to change that but I don't want to assume this will be done by autumn. Also lunch and dinner, the restaurants in the nearby hotels provide good but also fairly expensive dishes. There are just a few offers for vegetarians, I didn't even bother to ask for vegans. If anybody else still wishes to take over: I strongly suggest you are close to the area (Freiburg, Basel, perhaps Zürich), please get in touch ASAP. Also you should be able to stand grouchy remarks from other people. The dose I got in several media was already quite discouraging. Thanks for everybody who showed interest, or even gave helpful advice. I'll re-visit the place next year when at least the first two items should have been resolved. Christoph
