Looking for 1 week or longer weekend swaps with (EUROPEAN) CITIES (Zürich, Berlin, Ljubljana, Milano, Triest, ...) or suprise offers in SPRING 2024! And in August 2024 s swap with SFO OR NYC/Brooklyn? Spain would be a lovely option in FALL 2024!

We live in a spacious, sunny house with a NATURAL SWIMMING POND in front of it which is wonderful to swim in the summer and to take a nice plunge in the cooler season after the sauna downstairs. Our home is located in a quiet rural area only 12 km from Linz, the capital of Upper Austria, and the 2009 European Cultural Capital. It`s only 2 km from the town of Altenberg and is surrounded by forests, fields and meadows that offer great hiking possibilities. A large horseriding facility, a goat farm and an open air museum can be reached on foot in 15-20 minutes. Also close by is a great swimming lake and a fun pool for kids of all ages, as well as indoor pools, saunas and wellness facilities. In the winter time we enjoy going skiing in the numerous skiing areas around us or we just take a tour on our cross country skis from the back yard of our house. Downstairs in our basement we offer a sauna, which we use a lot to warm up on cooler evenings!

Here are a few websites to get an idea what to expect in our neighborhood:

Altenberg is a great starting location for day trips (Salzburg [148 km], Vienna [196 km], Salzkammergut Lake District and Austrian Alps [103 km], Bohemian Forest/Šumava National Park [93 km], Czech Republic border [30 km], Český Krumlov [66 km], Prague [242 km]). Here you can find peace and relaxation, as well as dynamic cultural life in Linz, just a stone's throw away.
