We are a family of 4, Kat (39) and Frank (43) with two sons (Moritz 6 & Felix 2).
Kat is a secondary school teacher teaching English and Spanish in the Black Forest and Frank is a self-employed graphic designer.
We love to travel and to enjoy good food great wines and are always happy to meet new people and getting to know new places wherever they are in the world.
Home exchange has been on our to-do list for quite a while and because of some career changes we have decided to take the plunge and will hopefully enjoy the ride wherever it will take us.
We are open to any European destination to start with but always keen to experience the unknown. We can't wait to get started, so please contact us ;)

Beskrivning av hemmet vi erbjuda att byta bort
Our apartment is on the first floor and consists of three bedrooms, a living/dining-room with an open kitchen, a bathroom and a spare toilet.
It is perfect for families with little children but also anyone else of course.
The living room area has a bank of windows opening up to a spacious balcony with wooden floorboards. One adult can easily sleep on the Chaiselongue.
Here we like to hang out in our hammocks (one is on the balcony and the other one ist set up from the balcony into the living-room), the kids like to play in a little pool we put up on hot days, have a barbecue or just enjoy some drinks.
The kids room has a bunk bed for 2. The room for the children has a wide range of toys (lego, duplo, playmobil, puzzles, etc.) and English and German books. We can all offer a travel cot for babies/toddlers.
The guest room is currently our office-guest-room.There is also a changing table for a baby/toddler. The couch in this room can also be used as a bed (120cm).
The master bedroom has a double bed (180cm).
The bathroom has a shower and a bath, a toilet and two sinks, dryer and washing-mashine.
The flat has a ventilation system (not A/C) which makes it allergy friendly as the windows basically don't need to be opened. All rooms have wooden floors. We have fans in the living-room and master bedroom which are perfect on hot days.
All rooms have large windows.
We can offer Netflix and Amazon prime in the living room and Wifi in the whole flat.
There is an underground carpark where one spot belongs to the flat. It can be reached directly from the apartment (stairs or elevator) as there is no parking possible in front of the house (play street).
We have two bikes for adults, one bike seat for kids (up to 18kg) and a trailer for two that can be adjusted to either bike. There is also a collection of kids bikes (a walking bike, and then 2 more bikes of different sizes, scooter, bobby car etc).

Beskrivning av vårt grannskap och omgivning
The apartment we are living in is situated in the suburb of Mooswald, just 4km from the heart of Freiburg city center, which can easily be reached by tram or bike within 10 min (walking distance 20min). We bought this place in 2013 and haver been living here ever since. It is a modern built house in a housing estate within the suburb with many young families around and a playground right on our doorstep.
The housing estate is located at a play street which is traffic-calmed (cars are only allowed to move at walking speed). Parking is only possible outside the housing estate, just a couple of meters away. This also makes it very quiet and we love to keep the windows open at night.
All shopping facilities, a public swimming pool, a large park with a boating lake (great for running), restaurants, mini golf are within walking distance. And there is so much more!
You can bike anywhere, into the city, to a nearby zoo but also explore the Rhine valley, the Black Forest or the vineyards by train. The famous Europapark is about 20min away by car.

Våra tips om platser att gå och saker att göra när du bor i vårt hem
Freiburg:
- a beautiful old town with an extensive pedestrian area with many shops and restaurants
- Gothic cathedral from the 12th-15th century, which is called "Munster of Our Lady" in Freiburg.
- large vegetable and farmer's market on weekdays
- various museums also invite you to visit
www.freiburg.de
Black Forest - hikes in summer / ski runs, skiing and snowboarding in winter
- About 15 km to the southeast are the hiking areas close to the city and in winter the ski slopes at Schauinsland (1200m, for beginners), which can best be reached via the somewhat hidden part of the village "Günterstal".
- Via the Bundesstraße 31 (city tunnel to the east) you get to the 1400m high Feldberg (25km).
- The hiking and skiing area Feldberg is located south of Titisee and has a good lift infrastructure (38 ski lifts)
There are also plenty of ski rentals and restaurants.

Recreational activities in the area:
- a wine region
- small wineries in the villages north, but mainly west and south of Freiburg
- buy wine from local winemakers
- thermal baths of Freiburg ( www.keidelbad.de/ )
- thermal bath in Bad Krozingen about 20 km south of Freiburg (https://www.bad-krozingen.info/Vita-Classica).
- "Bathing Paradise Black Forest" in Titisee (25 km east) (https://www.badeparadies-schwarzwald.de/).
Europapark Rust - the largest German amusement park with many rides and themed worlds. For a visit you should plan at least one day ( https://www.europapark.de/de ) .
Museums in the border triangle Germany-France-Switzerland:
- Basel (Switzerland): The Kunsthalle, the Tinguely Museum, the Fondation Beyeler and others are to be mentioned. Basel is easily accessible by train via the Basel-Badischer Bahnhof station. Parking is very expensive in the Basel car parks; but there is a very cheap all-day tourist parking ticket, which can be ordered on the Internet. However, this means that you can only walk in parking zones at the edge of the city centre and have to walk a bit.
- Vitra Design Museum is located on the German side in the city "Weil am Rhein" just north of Basel and is definitely worth a visit if you are interested.
- In Colmar, France, lies the "Musée d'Unterlinden", medieval painting on the Upper Rhine.
- in Mulhouse (France) there is a very nice old town with a well-known car museum and other museums.
