Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our house is located in a quiet part of Koblenz on the hill near the Ehrenbreitstein fortress (15 minutes walk), which offers a breathtaking view of the city and the rivers Moselle and Rhine. Several supermarkets with bakeries are about 1.5 km away. The city centre of Koblenz with all facilities (train station, museums, shopping, restaurants, pubs) is about 4 km away. There is a bus to the city centre about twice an hour right outside the front door.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Koblenz is surrounded by beautiful countryside (Rhine and Moselle valleys, the volcanic mountains of the Eifel). In Bad Ems (12 km/15 minutes by car) there is a famous and modern thermal spa). In the surrounding villages there are many possibilities for cultivated wine tasting. The cities of Cologne, Frankfurt and Trier are approx. 1 1/4 hours away by car or train.
Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
We are very happy to have guests. Smoking is comfortable on the terrace on the ground floor or on the balcony on the second floor, but please do not smoke in the house. You are welcome to use all our appliances and equipment, including the infrared sauna and the home trainer in the basement. Please return the house to us in a clean and tidy condition - just as you found it.
