Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

In easy reach of the lakes, Munich and the Alps: Our house is an end terraced house built in the 1950s with two terraces, large garden, four bedrooms (bed1: 2m x2m, beds 2-4: 1,40m x 2m) for use on two floors, two bathrooms, a dining and relaxing room, a large living room and a kitchen (downstairs) and a further living room (upstairs). On three sides the house is surrounded by a large garden with an apple tree and flower beds. Some of the interior is original, for example the basement bathroom with its real McCoy pink tiles from the 50s or the kitchen. We like all things colourful, which is reflected in the colour scheme of the rooms. There is a large living room window looking out on our new terrace and the garden. At the back end of the garden you will find a smaller roofed terrace. Our terraces catch the sun, the garden offers a mixture of sun and shade and then there is our south-facing balcony. There is a space in front of the house to park your car. There is also a garage, if you want to do a car swap with us!

Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

The house is situated in a quiet suburban village on the outskirts of Wolfratshausen, which was built in the 1930s to house workers' families. There is the village shop, the Bavarian pub complete with maypole, the church, the post office, a cafe, the chemist and the hair dressers all within walking distance. About 100 metres behind the house there is an off-road walking and cycling path along the river Isar. This area doubles as a nature reserve. The river's water is always very cold which is wonderfully refreshing in hot summers. The walking and cycling networks are very extensive and you could cycle up to Munich and as far as the foothills of the Alps, if you wanted. For children there is a skateboard area within rolling distance. There are also lovely walks along the canal to Gelting, which is a typical Bavarian village. After a ten minutes’ walk you will get to a Greek restaurant with a wonderful beer garden. Behind the house you will also find the village library.

Attractions

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home

If you venture out by car for only five minutes to either Wolfratshausen or Geretsried you will come across fast food restaurants, more cafes, pubs, restaurants, shops, museums, petrol stations, a cinema and ice-cream parlours. The centre of Wolfratshausen with its great baroque church is very pretty and well worth a stroll. There is even a theme park for kids aged 6 - 14 situated in town. The house's position on the map makes it the ideal location for daytrips. By car it is just under 30 kilometres to the foothills of the Alps, 30 kilometres to the centre of Munich, 67 kilometres to King Ludwig’s castle Linderhof, 120 kilometres to Innsbruck in Austria and a ten minutes car ride to the great Lake of Starnberg. There is a bus stop opposite the garden with services to Wolfratshausen, from which there is a train to Munich every twenty minutes. The area is famous for its art galleries, baroque churches, monasteries as well as the historic towns of Bad Tölz and Murnau.
