Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Lovely single family house with spacious rooms, garden and a trampoline. You'll find a sauna in the basement and a large tiled stove in the living area on the ground floor for cooler days. The wood for the tiled stove is kept next to the house. We offer a fully equiped kitchen with a sitting area next to the tiled stove. In the cosy living area you can enjoy your dinner, watch movies on our comfortable couch and you can even play our piano. On the upper floor there are 3 bedrooms and the large family bathroom (shower, bathtub). In the basement you can find the fourth bedroom as well as the brand new sauna and relaxing area with shower and tea corner. There is also space and equipment for your daily workout (weights).
In our huge garden you can hang out and have nice BBQ nights.
In a 15 minute walk you can reach the highly decorated theme park "Europapark". It has won lots of international awards such as the "Golden Ticket Award".
Rust is a small town next to the "Black Forest". You can find everything you need for every day's life such as groceries, bakeries, restaurants, pharmacy, doctors and dentists. You can reach the highway within 4 minutes and the next train station in about 5 minutes by car. Freiburg as the biggest city around is only 15 miles away.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Rust is close to the "Europapark", an award winning theme park. In 2019 the water park "Rulantica" was opened and is also worth a visit. Next to "Rulantica" is "Yullbe" a virtual reality experience. For further information check www.europapark.de, www.yullbe.com.
In Rust you can also visit the nature preservation center "Naturzentrum Rheinauen" which offers lots of activities such as making your own herbal skin cream or bird boxes. You can also participate in different workshops concerning environmental topics. If you like golfing you can find a golf course 7 miles from Rust.
Rust is in the southwest of Germany, so it is the ideal starting point travelling to France (Paris, 340 miles), Swiss (Zürich, 110 miles), Austria (Vienna, 486 miles) or to famous German cities like Cologne (250 miles) or Berlin (484 miles).
The closest international airport is "Basel" (BSL).
The "Black Forest" is a well-known tourist region which offers lots of different hiking trails up to 1493 m to the "Feldberg". In winter skiing areas are waiting for you: alpine skiing, cross-country skiing and slight riding.
