Read More...We had an absolutely wonderful time in Siegen and we couldn’t have wished for a more welcoming and fully equipped stay; yummie local goodies upon arrival, use of e-bikes for elaborate bike rides, ample suggestions for great hikes. Oh and did I mention the sunny weather in the middle of November? A perfect little get away.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Semi-detached house in a quiet suburb of Siegen, a town of about 100000 inhabitants on the edge of the Rothaargebirge (low mountain range) and the Sauerland to the north with lots of lakes and water reservoirs (artificial lakes). Great for cycling and hiking. Also quite central for tours to Cologne or Frankfurt. Siegen is a university town for about 18000 students now and offers more and more culture and entertainment.
Our house is more than 100 years old and once belonged to the last farmer of the suburb. There still is the old barn which we use as a double garage, and a spacious garden. There is a seating area with a barbecue underneath the balcony. We also have a green house, and you can help yourself with the produce.
For more information on the area visit "https://www.siegen-wittgenstein.info" (available in German, English und Dutch).
Although new this year, we are experienced Homelink exchangers, with 8 exchanges world wide!
