We are a German-American couple: Georg, a foreign policy journalist, and Dawn, a medical data expert. Our two boys are on their own in different cities. We both love to travel and make friends, and we do have many friends around the globe. We love outdoors (hiking, biking, canoeing) as we love culture (jazz, movies, concerts, etc).

Descripción de la casa que ofrecemos en intercambio
Comfortable, spacious home in a 12.000 inhabitants city east of Nürnberg.
Our house is part of a historic workers quarter, built around 1900 - 1910 and completely renovated. Our living room is rather small (former workers house), yet open to the dining room. The kitchen has everything a family needs. On the second floor there are 3 bedrooms and a bathroom. Our loft (third floor) has a couch/guest bed. We have a small garden with terrace. The neighbours are very friendly and helpful.
We don't have a Play Station, etc. Yet we have television, an excellent stereo system, dvd-player.

Descripción de nuestro barrio y la zona en que se encuentra
Our house is located next to a small park right in the center of town, yet the neighbourhood is nicely quiet. Convenient shopping right next door. It's 5min to the motorway, 4 min walk to the railway station.

Dónde ir y qué hacer mientras se esté en nuestra casa
The area is also great for all kinds of outdoor activities: hiking, biking, canoeing, horse riding. If you don't have our bikes with you, you can use our bikes (good ones).
Nürnberg is one of the most beautiful cities in Germany, with a rich history. The medeaval castle is gorgeous, the city's downtown quite cozy for a city this size (500.000 inhabitants): many half-timber houses, bridges ("Venice of the north") and scenic beer gardens. It has great museums (national history, modern arts and design, toy museum, etc.), it was home of Albrecht Dürer (his family's house is now a museum). Of course, Nürnberg is also famous for it's Nazi past, yet shows great attitude in dealing with this dark period. The remnents of the Nazi party rallying grounds and the adjacent museum are worth visiting.
The area north and east of Nürnberg (that's where we live) – called Franconian Swiss for its rolling landscape - is quite attractive for great outdoors activities. Biking is great fun here. In the area around Röthenbach there are 20 marked bike round trip trails (easily accessible by bike or train). The area is also known for the greatest number of small family breweries worldwide. (There is even a "beer hiking guide"!)
If you want to travel a litle bit: München is 170 kilometers away (or an hour train ride from Nürnberg), the Alps are with 2,5 hours reach.
Excursiones de día que merecen la pena
Lo qué nos gusta y lo qué no... Estas son nuestras preferencias y normas domésticas.
Of course, we'd love to find our house kept nicely - as we do, too. Children are fine, sure! Pets? We don't have any, if you do, let's talk about it. We do have plants in the house. They would require watering once a week. That's all.
