Single-family-home, surrounded by vineyards in the center of beautiful swabian tuscany. On top of a hill with a great view. Very less traffic, very quiet and TOP for Kids and babies/toddler/young children. We have a small Kids-Pool in the garden, a very huge trampoline, a teeter-totter, children's slide, sand-box, two children's swings and a small area for basketball. Bicycles with a child-seat available, too.

It doesn't matter if you exchange with us in summer or winter, you'll enjoy all amenities for sure. Quite every winter we get snow and when it's enough, the next Ski-Lift is only 25 km far away. If you just want to have fun with your sledge, enjoy the kids-track right beside the house, only 1 minute by feet. You'll love it.

The house itself has 1 bedroom for parents (with waterbed), 2 bedrooms for children (first bedroom with one bed, second bedroom with two beds) and a bedroom for two toddler/babies/young children with two small beds which can also be used as another bedroom with an inflatable Queen Size Bed. We have full equipment for toddler/young children.

Furthermore are a living room with cable TV, DVD, PayTV and Internet-PC, a full equipped kitchen, two showers, a corner Bath tub, a dryer, a microwave, a dish washer and a washing machine.

We have three bunnies and one water-turtle which will stay at home while we exchange. If you can't carry about, no problem. We will find a solution. We also have a small dog (Beagle) which will come with us if it is okay with you or the dog will stay at my parents while we exchange.

Our three weeks in Obersulm were amazing! The house is just perfect... very clean with everything (and more) that you could possibly wish for. this family made every effort to make our welcome perfect. They left a detailed book on how everything in the house works as well as providing brochures on many things to do in the area. Obersulm is very well situated with many places to visit. The location of the house itself is wonderful... on top of a small hill. From here you have views of the vineyards, the orchards and the surrounding valleys. There is so much to do... the local lake is more like an incredibly well-equipped beach... it was perfect for swimming, running and walking. All the roads in the area have cycle paths running alongside so cycling was safe for us and for the children. Do not have any preconceived ideas about going to Germany on holiday. This place is simply fantastic and you will not regret it! If you are in any doubt about choosing this family for home exchange we can put you in touch with them and we're sure we can convince you. In short, this place is a well-kept secret! It comes with our highest recommendation. We found our house exactly as we had left it... spotless! Even our neighbours commented on how polite yet discrete they were. Perfect house exchangers.

If you’ve come to this page thinking “how could the town of Obersulm in Germany impress me,” we’ll let you in on a little secret: wine, nature, hiking, cycling and swimming! Obersulm lies in a fantastic wine-making region locally known as the “Swabian Tuscany,” bordering the famously known towns of Heilbronn, Ludwigsburg, Stuttgart, Mannheim, Heidelberg Frankfurt, Schwaebisch Hall and Karlsruhe, make for easy day trips.

Obersulm is surrounded by a beautiful countryside of stunning vineyards, river valleys and several small lakes. The area around Obersulm can best be explored by bike or hiking as many trails follow along the surrounding rivers and vineyards. The lake "Breitenauer See", ten minutes by foot, offers swimming, canoeing, and sailing - a paradise for nature lover and families.

In town are as much activities as around so you won't feel bored at any time. Interested in public playgrounds, skateboarding, basketball or soccer? You can do them all in walking distance of our house. But that's not all, you will also find different restaurants with German, Italien, Greece and Turkish cuisines as well as several pubs if you want to go out. Several doctors, dentists and pharmacy let you feel safe just in case you need help.

If you want to feel the heartbeat of a huge town, visit all the towns around us like Heilbronn, Ludwigsburg, Stuttgart, Mannheim, Heidelberg Frankfurt, Schwaebisch Hall, Karlsruhe and a really lot more. Heilbronn is the next biggest city to us and offers countless restaurants, pubs, cinemas and of course sights, too. All you need for your entertainment in the evening.

Around an hour by car, you can visit different theme parks, water-parks, Formula 1 racetrack and professional soccer called "Bundesliga". It's up to you, but we can already assure you, that you will as much enjoy your vacation in our home as our guests did before and you will never feel bored.

We are Manuel (36) and Corinna (36), a married couple with one teenager (15), one child (11) and two young children (4 and 5). We love to show the kids the world, and we think home exchange is the BEST way to do it. Our children are very well behaved and respectful, and love to travel. I have worked as a software developer for around 16 years now. We are ALWAYS looking for an exchange within German school holidays. We're experienced exchanger and already exchanged to USA, France (twice) and the Netherlands (twice). We would respect and care for your home like it was our own, and we are looking for someone who would treat our home that way as well.

WE ARE CURRENTLY SEARCHING FOR:

1. Long-term (3 or more month) exchange with a familiy who has at least two kids in school (because of student exchange) - english speaking country preferred.
