We're a family of four. Elisabeth and Truls, and our two daughters Sofie and Maria. We like to travel to new places and learn new things. While in Hølen we love to be in our garden, enjoy the beaches by the fjord or run or bicycle in the nearby forests. We've done six home exchanges so far. Once in Switzerland, once in Belgium, two in Spain, and two in France. All of them very positive experiences for all of us, and we're eager to plan our next exchange!

We enjoyed the calm, garden with trampoline & BBQ, the next door café, the raspberries and blueberries around, the wandering in the fjord by boat, the cosiness of the house. 2 days trip to Gotheborg was nice and Oslo is close... Thank you to them for their easy-goingness and enthousiasm...

The location is fantastic: it's near to Oslo and next to nice villages in the south coast of Norway and Sweden. And the partners are thoughtful, trusting and friendly. They are nice people.

Beskrivelse af vores byttebolig
Our house has a big living room with big windows in front where you can see the river outside and a lot of threes. Three bed rooms have double beds, and the fourth has got a a bunk bed. It is possible to walk into the garden from the kitchen door. And we have our morning coffee table just outside the front door. We also have quite a lot of bikes that it is possible to borrow. Biking is just perfect in Hølen!

Beskrivelse af omegn
Hølen is a small and thightly knit village/community with a long history. First as a trading spot for the local farmers, then as a small industrial community with the only liquor store in miles (which made the place the only tax haven in Norway for nearly 20 years!). Later it developed into something close to an artist community with writers and painters moving in. Today it's a mixed community of people who works locally as well as a lot of people commuting to Oslo. Hølen got it's own grocery store as well as a cafe (it's our next door neighbor). Hølen sits by the Såna river, and follow that (on a bike path) down to the Oslo fjord, and you'll arrive in the coastal community of Son. A small, quiet town by the sea that is very popular in the summertime. There's a number of nice beaches down by the fjord, and they're all easy to access. Either by bicycle (we have a number of those) or car. In the forests around Hølen there's a number of opportunities for nice hikes, runs or rides.

Vores lokale tips for muligheder, steder at besøge, mens du er i vor bolig
Our house is located just next to the local cafe. A nice spot, with coffee, cakes and the rights to serve beer. The local grocery store is a five minute walk away. In Son, the nearest coastal village, there is a number of restaurants. We prefer the Italian restaurant - Ristorante 24 - but there's several other cafe's and restaurants there as well. Oslo, with it's abundance of offerings of both the cultural and culinary sorts, is just a short car (or train) trip away. Gothenburg, in Sweden, is 2,5 hours away. It's very nice city, with a lot of interesting attractions. On the way there, we recommend a trip out to the Koster islands. Beautifully located in the fjord with an abundance of beaches and the highest number of sunny days in Sweden.
