Dear Rüdiger and Ute, We had a wonderful 2 weeks in the apartment of Rüdiger and Ute. The house was comfortable with a large living room, nice furniture, a large master bedroom with a good bed and a well equipped kitchen. Around the apartment there is a balcony facing south/south-west, so with lots of sunshine. The view on the river Mosel was amazing, especially the sunsets over the river and high hills. Large boats came by going to France, Belgium or The Netherlands. Alongside the river you can make a stroll or a bike tour as there is a paved walking/cycling path. Rüdiger left us 2 bikes to use. The apartment is only 10 minutes walk to the centre of Zell. Shopping is 10 minutes by car. Because of the Corona virus we didn't visit the historic towns along the Mosel river, nor did we go to Trier or Koblenz, which we otherwise certainly would have done. But the walks we made on the steep slopes covered with vineyards and woods, as well as on the highlands above were very much worthwhile doing. Rüdiger gave us some suggestions of Riesling winemakers whom we visited. Rüdiger gave us a warm welcome and showed us around. During our exchange we kept in contact by mail, all very easy. And we were happy to see that our houseboat in Leiden was left very clean by Rüdiger when we returned home again after 2 weeks. Thank you for this very pleasant exchange, we enjoyed it very much! H & M vd.Poel
