We are a family of 3 (Heidi, Karl and Thomas 12), but we would like to travel with another family, if that is possible. But we are also open for offers for the 3 of us. We have done 5 great exchanges already - 3 with another platform. We love this wonderful way to get to know other countries and family cultures.
We love music (piano, singing, dancing), sailing, skiing, reading, cooking and travelling.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
WE ALREADY HAVE AN EXCHANGE FOR 2020!
Our house is situated in an idyllic hill-side housing area on the outskirts of the city of Salzburg and offers a fantastic view of the city and the mountains. You will enjoy the views especially on the terrace, seeing the sun set behind the mountain skyline. In summer we spend most of the time outside on the terrasse, having dinner or a good glas of wine. There is also a garden with old apple trees and you can relax in their shade. The house was completely renovated in 2010 and therefore offers modern kitchen and bathroom facilities.
The house has about 250 m2 of living space on 3 floors. The ground floor offers an open kitchen-dining-living room area, a separate guest room and a guest bathroom. On the 1st floor there are 3 bedrooms, a library room, 1 bathroom and 1 toilet. The additional basement area of another 100 m2 has a small appartment with bathroom ensuite, an office, a laundry room and a garage.
Facilities:
We have a car as well as 5 bicycles. As we have a 10 year old boy, we have lots of games and stuff a boy of that age likes, like a trampoline, a table tennis, billard and table football.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
The center of Salzburg is only 10 min away. You can take a direct bus to the center - the bus station is about 100 m away (just down the hill). A car would be also available for exchange. You can also take the bike - that takes 15 min to the center.
Directly next to the house there are beautiful woods and meadows, just ready for a nice walk. In summer you can watch the cows grazing here. If you want, you can take a 45 min walk up to the top of the hill and enjoy an incredible view over Salzburg and its surroundings as well as a nice restaurant.
Daily shopping facilities are nearby in walking distance - like supermarkets, butcher, pharmacy, postal office - as well as different restaurants.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Salzburg is famous for its cultural history, being the birth place of Mozart and having one of the most famous cultural festivals in Europe (Salzburger Festspiele in August - with classical concerts, operas, theaters etc.). The city of Salzburg offers a beautiful historic center with beautiful churches, houses, museums, etc. From our home you are in 15 minutes in the center by bus.
Salzburg ist also surrounded by mountains where you can hike and enjoy wonderful views. It offers lakes with cristall clear warm water to go swimming, sailing etc. (Wallersee, Fuschlsee, Mondsee, Obertrumersee). The water quality of the Austrian lakes is extremely good - most of them are cristal clear, but still reach a temperature of 25°C in summer. The neares lake is only 15 minutes drive away.
If you fancy doing alpine walks or hikes you can reach the nearest mountains in about 25 minutes, but you can also go hiking directly from the house - up the hill you will enoy a wonderful view.
Within 30 minutes you will reach different sights that are unique and special for Salzburg, like the Hangar 7 (old airplanes, formula 1 cars of Red Bull), a salt mine, an old castle (Werfenweng), an ice cave, a rural museum of alpine farm houses, the zoo, a toys museum, children theater and so on.
