Description of the home we are offering for exchange
WE WELCOME OFFERS FOR SUMMER 2020, BUT WILL NOT HAVE AN EXCANGE IN WINTER!
We are a family of four and live in Innsbruck, the capital of the Tyrol, in a bright and modern apartment (135 m2) with a large terrace and a roofgarden with lawn, where we recently also grow vegetables. The architect who planned this house in 2000 called it 'the-one.man's-roof-is-the-other-man's-garden'! There are only two other flats in the house, ours is on the very top with two floors. On top of the house there is the carport.
As our home is situated on the sunny hillside of Innsbruck you will have a stunning view to the mountains around and the city of Innsbruck.
In Summer you can start a lot of walking, hiking, climbing or cycling tours (you can use our mountainbikes) directly from our house, as it is situated on the foot of the famous Nordkette/ Seegrube. To the cable car it is only 10 min. by car and that brings you in a spectacular mountain scenery in in less than 15 minutes!

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
We live in a residental area very close to the wood but also only 20 minutes walk to the old town (or 10 minutes by bus). As our home is situated on the sunny hillside of Innsbruck you will have a stunning view to the mountains around and the city of Innsbruck. In the city center you will find all the tourist sights, restaurants, bars and a wide range of cultural offers such as museums, theaters and cinemas. Innsbruck is also well known for its cultural events (e.g. the "Early Music Festival", New Orleans Festival, Open Air Cinema, Open Air Concerts) (www.kultur-sommer.at)
In Summer you can start walking, hiking or cycling tours (you can use our mountainbikes) directly from our house. To the cable car of the "Nordkette" it is only 10 min. by car and that brings you in a spectacular mountain scenery in less than 15 minutes! There you can reach several huts and mountain pastures serving typical food. In winter it is a very special skiing area with lots of fun not only for young people.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Innsbruck has a medieval old town and a baroque residence, the "Hofburg" but it is also a very young and vibrant city. As there are about 25.000 students (over a 5th of the population!) studying here, there is a vivid cultural and gastronomic life in town. In the surrounding of Innsbruck there are lots of castles, hiking or biking opportunities, funparks etc.
The Alpenzoo (http://www.alpenzoo.at) is 10 min drive from our home and is a very nice place all trough the year. The Botanical Garden is on your way down to the old town and a calm and inspiring place as well.
If you want to hop to Italy you reach the boarder within half an hour. To Salzbu or Munich it will take ou only 2 hours drive. And even Verona or the Lake Garda with its mediterrian climate can be visited on a daytrip - about 3 hours drive one way.
