House within the World Heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley in Lorch, Germany (close to Frankfurt)
Welcome to our timberhouse.
Willkommen in unserem Holzhaus.
We are a family with 2 adults and two boys (aged 16 and 18) who would like to swap our house during german school holidays with an other family. During 3 weeks in summer, around eastern or/and in autumn and a week in January we are able to swap our house. Besides that you are welcome to visit us in the Rhine Valley the whole year if there are not other guests at that point of time. We can host two persons in our newly renovated barn. The building offers a sleeping room under the roof (for 2 persons on a sofa-bed) and a bath with a shower. My wife has her office in the ground floor where you also find a water cooker for making tea and a coffee machine.
Wir sind eine vierköpfige Familie. Mama (49 J.), Papa (51 J.), großer Junge (18 J.) und kleinerer Junge (16 J.), die ihr Haus gerne mit einer anderen Familie tauschen würde. Neben dem Haupthauses befindet sich eine neu renovierte Scheune welche auch außerhalb eines Tausches eine Übernachtungsmöglichkeit unter dem Dach sowie Bad im EG für 2 Personen darstellt. Allerdings befindet sich in diesem Gebäude auch unsere Büros.
You can reach our house very easily from the two close-by airports Frankfurt Hahn (within 45min) and Frankfurt Main (within 55min). Located in the romantic "Upper Middle Rhine Valley" (https://worldheritagegermany.com/upper-middle-rhine-valley/) you will find lots of castles and manor houses in our neighborhood. The famous hiking trail Rheinsteig (https://www.rheinsteig.de/der-rheinsteig/home/) runs along the right bank of the river Rhine between Bonn, Koblenz und Wiesbaden along predominantly narrow paths and challenging inclines, uphill and downhill, leading to forests, vineyards and spectacular views. This exceptionally well sign-posted and closely networked trail offers opportunities for ambitious long-distance walking tours or for a variety of short tours. Our house is situated directly next to the trail. Rüdesheim and the Loreley are further touristic highlights within 15 driving minutes.

Besides the wild animals outside we have two residents. Our two cats stay and sometimes sleep in the house. They need to be fed and hugged once or twice a day. If they like you they will bring little "presents" which they put on the doorstep.
Neben den wildlebenden Arten gibt es noch zwei Residents. Unsere zwei Katzen sind sowohl drinnen als auch draussen und möchten gerne gefüttert und umsorgt werden. Sie sind erstklassige Mäusefänger und bringen diese hin und wieder als Geschenke mit.

"The Rheingau
is the most famous and celebrated of German wine-growing regions. This small area is big in RIESLING and provides optimum growing conditions for this best and most noble of white wine varieties. The result is a wide selection of interesting and renowned wines.
A quirk of nature
Along latitude 50, near Wiesbaden, the northwards flow of the Rhine is suddenly blocked by the Taunus Mountains. Here the river is forced to take a right-angled turn towards the west. Over millions of years, as the mountains continued to rise, the Rhine and Main carved deep valleys into the landscape. And so the environment was created for an excellent wine-growing area sunny, south-facing slopes.
Rheingau -home of the Riesling
The Riesling is said to have originated in the Rheingau. The first official record of Riesling vines anywhere in the world dates from 1435. For centuries Benedictine and Cistercian monk pioneered growing Riesling. In 1775, they discovered the advantages of a late harvest in the vineyard location Johannisberg. Today, these late harvested Rieslings (Spätlese) still count as the prize wines of the region. Traditional estates such as Kloster Eberbach, Schloss Johannisberg and Schloss Vollrads have all contributed to the excellent international reputation of the Rheingau.
The Royal Prussian School for Horticulture and Viticulture was founded in 1872 in Geisenheim. Later, this became the Research Institute for Horticulture and Viticulture, where a large number of important discoveries and developments were made in the field of viticulture."

Very welcoming family and lovely house in nature, with a lot of different activities in the area possible. We enjoyed hiking, biking along the Rhine, going to natural swimming pools and visiting the Gutenberg museum in Mainz. The house has everything you need; we spent our evenings playing darts in front of the house or having a drink with locals in the nearby low key whine bars. Would recommend!
Tanja und Michael haben ein wunderbares Haus in toller Lage. Der Garten ist so schön, dass man gar nicht mehr wegmöchte. Aber es lohnt sich trotzdem, denn die Umgebung ist ebenfalls ein großartiges Urlaubsziel. Wir haben unsere Zeit dort sehr genossen.
