Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Situated in the village of Bühlingen, close to the magnificent Black Forest, our farmhouse is nearly 400 years old and has been renovated in the traditional style but with all modern facilities.
We have 5 bedrooms. On the first floor there are 3 bedrooms: one with a large bed (sleeps 4) and one with a double bed with an en suite bathroom in between, the third one has two single beds and a bunk bed. On the second floor there are 2 bedrooms, both with double beds. There is also a family bathroom with tub and shower and a separate toilet.
The Vogtshof was our home for 18 years till we bought another house in 2015. Since 2018 we rent the house out as a holiday home.
The medieval market town of Rottweil, with its beautiful cobbled alleys and its many shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants is only a 5 minute drive by car. If you want to explore a little further then Switzerland and the Lake Constance are only 45 minutes by car. For those who enjoy walking then there are plenty of options with the Black Forest famous for its beautiful scenery.
For families there are museums, animal parks and leisure parks all close by. Europa Park, Germany's biggest leisure park, is less than 2 hours drive way. As a family we usually go there once a year - it's wonderful offering something for adults, small children and teenagers.
For those who will be flying and hiring a car then Stuttgart, Zürich (CH), Friedrichshafen and Karlsruhe-Baden airports are all within easy distance of Bühlingen.
