Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Welcome to our beautiful historical house from 1907 in Dals Långed in the heart of "Dalsland". Only 2.5 hours from Göteborg and Oslo and an hour drive away from the coast, you will find our home in the fantastic region of "Dalsland" the home of Astrid Lindgren's "Ronia, the Robber's Daughter". A land of 1000 lakes, the famous "Dalsland canal" and beautiful small towns with great infrastructure. In Sweden you can have both: good infrastructure with shops, restaurants and all what you need for your stay and the feeling of a calm rural life, full of outdoor activities. When you are on our huge veranda you can see on one side directly into the forest, where there is sometimes a deer, or maybe a moose, on the other side only 200 meters away you see the shining waters of Lake Laxjöns. Our home in Dals Långed is newly renovated with new furniture, comfortable matresses and a fully equipped kitchen. It is our beloved vacation home, we live and work in Berlin.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
The village is characterized by a long tradition of art and handcraft. Several artists live here, a silver smith, other smiths, painters and textile artists as well as designers.

It is a safe and family-friendly environment, next to us is a beautiful playground, where you don't have to be frightened to let your children play. In the night you will only hear some birds singing their lullabies.

Here you will find a lot of information about our region: https://www.vastsverige.com/en/dalsland/see--do/things-to-see-and-do/
The next opportunity to go fishing or to take a trip with a canoe is only 200 m away, you can go for a swim in the lake there, too. About 1 km away is a beach with a WC, a nice picnic area and a diving tower. Everything is free of charge, but there is no lifeguard on duty.
The whole year round is "dalsland aktiviteter" (in our direct neighbourhood) your partner for boat rentals, guided tours and horseback riding. They also run a moose park where you can watch moose in their natural environment. A good restaurant with typical Swedish food is also part of their business: https://www.dalslandsaktiviteter.se/.
