We had a really enjoyable 10 days in Wernigerode and thoroughly enjoyed staying in Ellen's home. Her son was extremely helpful, both on our arrival and if we had any questions. The town and the surrounding area were very tourist-friendly during our visit (in September) and we especially loved the steam train. The home exchange worked very smoothly in every way.

Wir haben es sehr genossen bei euch , vielen Dank

In dem wunderschönen Haus von Ellen haben wir uns sofort wohlgefühlt, auch dank ihrer routinierten Vorbereitungen und der vielfältigen Informationen, die für uns bereit lagen. Wir erlebten ein tolles verlängertes Wochenende, konnten viel unternehmen und danach in dem sehr wohnlichen, ruhigen und liebevoll gestalteten Wohnhaus den Tag ausklingen lassen.

Fast zwei Wochen haben wir in Ellens schönem Haus verbracht und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Es fehlte uns an nichts! Auch das Wetter meinte es gut mit uns und so konnten wir viele Sehenswürdigkeiten, die uns Ellen vorgeschlagen hat, auch besuchen. Wernigerode ist ein 'Bilderbuchstädtchen', in dem man gerne länger verweilt. Aber auch Goslar, Quedlinburg und Bad Harzburg sind einen Besuch wert. Die schöne Landschaft im Bodetal, die Hängebrücke an der Rappbodetalsperre und kleine Wanderungen am Fuße des Brockens haben wir sehr genossen. Die Kommunikation mit Ellen war immer sehr herzlich. Es war ein sehr gelungener Tausch, liebe Ellen, vielen Dank dafür!

Der Kontakt, die Reise und das Haus waren super!

We only arranged this swap in June (as our planned swap couldn't go ahead due to the corona measures). We were very happy to be able to stay in Ellen's lovely house in the beautiful Harz area. The house had all the comforts that we needed. We ate almost every meal on the veranda. Wernigerode is a lovely town with many old buildings and a castle, that we also visited. There were lots of things to do in the area, even with the corona restrictions. Our teenagers also had a great time, with wifi in the house and plenty of exciting things to do (like the monster rollers in Braunlage and the rodelbahns in the area. Thank you Ellen for swapping with us.

We really enjoyed our stay at Ellen’s home. The location, near Wernigerode was excellent with the bus station right across the street. Her home was cosy and welcoming. We enjoyed her garden with a view of the Harz Mountains. Listening to and watching the nearby steam train was an added bonus. We were so happy to be able to explore this area of Germany from this location.

Lovely home and excellent holiday.

A very practical and cosy home in a beautiful region! Everything was ship-shape when we arrived, with a delicious welcome meal ready in the fridge and lots of tourist information at hand. Ellen's house is perfectly situated: a little away from the street so you can enjoy peace and quiet, yet near enough to the city centre to get there in 5 minutes by bike. Couldn't be better!
