We have been a couple for more than 20 years. Karl is a private equity manager and Erich is a university lecturer and also runs his own consulting company in the field of research management. Erich loves to play on our grand piano. We both like to spend a lot of time in our country house as well as our second home in the beautiful town of Salzburg. We enjoy life and the apartment is designed for comfort and conversation. We often organize great dinners, especially together with our best friends to enjoy our selection of wines together.
We run the small but exquisite Rosa Linde Comford Bed & Breakfast (www.rosalinde.at).
We are experienced travellers and feel comfortable all over the world - with perhaps an emphasis on the English countries. We speak German, English, Italian, Spanish and some French. The more we travel, the more we like staying in one location and becoming part of a neighbourhood for 1-2 weeks.

The ride (bike, car, bus) to the cathedral takes 15 minutes and takes you through protected landscapes with marvellous views of Leopoldskron palace and the medieval castle. The house offers beautiful views of the mountains, meadows and woods and the castle. It is furnished with a mix of modern furniture and antiques. You can cool down in the outdoor pool or warm up in the indoor sauna. The house provides a fully equipped kitchen, a terrace and sun deck, several bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and lounge areas.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
The house is located in a quiet residential neighbourhood. There is a supermarket, bakery with café, pharmacy and bus stop (250 meters). The bus stop provides convenient connection to the city centre (15 minutes ride) and to the central station (Salzburg Hauptbahnhof, app. 25 minutes). The biggest advantage is that there are no other buildings directly in front of the house. This gives beautiful views of the protected landscape and the impressive Untersberg mountain. A locally famous canal (Almkanal) dating from medieval times runs from the mountains to the city centre and provides ample opportunities for pleasant walks. The area is very quiet and there is only little residential car traffic.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Within walking distance are the baroque palace Leopoldskron, the Almkanal (medieval canal), the Leopoldskron lake. A short ride or drive takes you to Hellbrun palace, garden and water fountains - and to the city centre of Salzburg. The Untersberg mountain is only a few minutes’ drive away (hike, climb or use the cable car). The house is well located also for visiting Berchtesgaden and Tegernsee (in Germany). In summer, the beautiful lakes of Salzkammergut (Fuschlsee, Wolfgangsee, Attersee) or the many festivals are a must - in winter it is skiing in the mountains, Christmas markets in the city and nearby villages, or a range of concerts that will make it difficult for you to take your pick.

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
Please make sure that you close all windows before you leave the house. Weather can change quickly in Salzburg and there can be heavy thunderstorms with strong rainfalls. There are some details about pool usage, garbage etc which you will find clearly described at the house. The antiques in the living room are naturally quite sensitive. Please always use coasters and never pot hot plates etc. directly on the wood.
