Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Oldenburg is a green and lively city of 160,000 inhabitants, with a lovely old town centre. Driving distances: 30 min. to Bremen, 90 min. to Hamburg, 40-50 min. to North Sea Coast, 2-3 hrs (by ferryboats) to the East Frisian islands, 60 min. to Dutch border, 90 min. to Groningen.
Our house has a lot of open space in the living room area, but also many other rooms at different levels. It is situated in the outskirts of the city, with a garden and view across a meadow behind. Paths for walks and bicycle tours in the countryside start 100 m from the house, but the city centre can also be reached easily within 20 min. by bicycle or bus (10-15 by car). A lake for swimming, with a sandy beach, is 2 km away (5 min. on the bicycle).
We have one cat; it would be nice if you could feed it, but our neighbour can also take care of it.
