Summer 25 is already fixed. We are looking for an exchange in northern Sweden, Norway , Finland or Iceland over Christmas/ New Year 25/26.
You can be sure that we will act careful and respectful in your home. Our big family home is warm and cosy (we love to live in). It is located in a quiet village named "Lochau". Its a 5min ride to Bregenz where you can enjoy the town, shops, restaurants, lakepromenade..... and the local mountain "Pfänder". Hiking up to the top takes around one hour, but there is also a cablecar going up, you can enjoy a fantastic view over the whole area, over the lake. In 10 minutes you reach Germany as well as Switzerland in 20 minutes. During the summertime Bregenz is offering the very famous "Festspiele" with the tribune on the lake. There are many bathes where you can enjoy the lake as well.
You can take wounderful bike or trekking tours. The landscape is interesting and really great.
We live close to beautiful and famous regions as Bregenzerwald, Silvretta , Arlberg with very high mountains. Here you can visit famous skiingresorts if you agree a swap over Christmas.But also the lovely pretty towns (many of them with middleage -parts) around the lake are jewels to be discovered summer and winter with fantastic Christmasmarkets. One of it is the island Lindau , 10 min drive away from home.
We have a big familyhome with a nice garden surrounding. We also can offer a swimming pool( summer) and an open air whirlpool(winter and summer)) in the garden. You will also enjoy the lakefew and its colourful sunsets.
There is enough room for 10 people. There are three bathrooms with shower or bathtubs and toilet and one separate guesttoilet,six bedrooms and a big living /diningroom beside the kitchen. Of course free WIFI and TV.!
We own a second home in Lockenhaus, Burgenland. Its very cosy and big enough for around 6 people. Its only one hour away from Vienna and situated on the Hungarian border. Burgenland is the country with the most castles in Austria. Theres a beautiful one in our village. If its free( we also rent it ) you can use this house as well, if you want to visit this area for a few days.
We are sure you will enjoy your holiday in Lochau and maybe in Lockenhaus in summer and winter.
In case of changing cars we can offer a 5(7 )seats BMW 218 GT automatic with roofbox for skiing stuff .

GB796679Had some good chats with Dagmar preceding the exchange. She was always quick to respond, and provided me with lots of helpful information about places to visit, things to do, where to eat etc
There is plenty of room in the house, but we spent most of the time outside in the beautiful garden. We also enjoyed the pool and hot tub
Nearby are lovely historical towns, and there is a lot to do in the area. The scenery is spectacular
Overall, a most enjoyable exchange which I highly recommend.
