Is this program right for you?
This is a rigorous program of fieldwork which requires general
good health. The terrain around Blaubeuren is rugged, with steep hills. Be
prepared for physical work including walking over rough surfaces, shoveling,
screening, and lifting heavy buckets, and for days spent outdoors.
