Read More...Thank you for our wonderful exchange in your lovely and comfortable home, your hospitality and pleasant contact. We felt really welcome and enjoyed the spacious garden with hammock, apple trees, vegetable garden and each day fresh eggs from the chicken; a real little paradise. The children had so much choice in puzzles, games and toys and the house is very cozy and comfortable. Andelfingen is a picturesque town and we loved activities as strolling in the Schlosspark, swimming in and lingering at the Thur, admiring the fireworks at the Rhinefall on 1st August, exploring small towns and making a 2-day trip in the mountains including sleeping in a cabin. It was a real pleasure and a wonderful first acquaintance with Switzerland and its friendly people. Thank you all for this super holiday!

Read More...We spent a wonderful week this Easter in Andelfingen. Corinne, Andreas & their kids have been fantastic hosts & guests! Their apartment with the huge garden in a small village near Zurich has been the perfect spot for us Berliners to relax. They have been so welcoming & provided the perfect information to get settled in. Our daughter especially loved to take care of the chickens which wasn't much work (and you get free organic eggs!). Andelfingen is close to the Thur river where you can take a stroll, and also to the cities of Winterthur and Zurich. You can actually reach all with the great Swiss train system (much better than our German one...). They also took great care of our place and our two cats. The communication with them was wonderful & we hope to stay in touch!

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our house is in the middle of the old part of the village and surrounded by other nice old buildings. The streets are small and not often frequented, a waterwheel turns its rounds and behind the garden a waterfall is lapping. Many families (and cats) live in the neighborhood. Within walking distance are a grocery store, organic food shop, a bakery, a butcher shop, a pharmacy and restaurants. The library is very near and also two playgrounds. Whithin spitting distance there is a wonderfull old public park. In about 4 minutes by walking you will reach the trainstation to the next citys (Winterthur 12 minutes, Schaffhausen 20 minutes, Zürich 35-45 minutes). For walking or jogging you can enjoy the river Thur. In summertime it is possible to take a bath there or you go to the outdoorpool of the village.
