We already have an agreement with a family of Norway for summer 2022. We're open for short or long exchanges up to 4 weeks. |
A cozy place in Olen,Belgium!
Welcome in Olen!
We're looking for short or long exchanges during any period.
We're open for any proposal.
Surprise us!
We are a family of 5 but our 3 grown up children are probably not traveling with us.
We prefer traveling with Lima (our cocker dog).
We included Intervac in our style of life in 2006 and since then we have had more than 30 succesfull exchanges. We appreciate the hospitality of people from different countries and we're already looking forward to welcome our next family!
We live in a little village in the Flamish part of our country. Our house is located in a very quite area with a lot of green surroundings. We love our Nethe valey, Kempisch Canal and the sanddunes. There is so much to do in Olen and the surrounding areas. You will not be bored!
The famous familypark 'Bobbejaanland' is just 3 km from here!
We live in a spaceful typical country house, build in 1950...completely renovated and good equiped. It's a family home with large rooms and 4 bedrooms.
We have a lot of musicinstruments, toys & games for all age. You can use our free and unlimited internet-acces. We have a big, lovely garden with lots of vegetables, fruit- & walnut-threes. There's a terras (with BBQ) and a swimmingpond. Kids can also play football. There's a little playgarden in front of the house.
Belgium is a very little country with distinct cultures and long fascinating histories. But Belgium charms are also found in many less-spectacular corners. Belgium is more than drinking beer, eating 'stoemp', waffles, chips and chocolates!
Belgium is a country of two distinct halves. Dutch speaking Flanders has a flat landscape but is interspersed with fabulous historic cities. They lies close together and are conveniently interconnect by regular trains, even from Olen. Antwerp is a portcity whose historical credentials are balanced by its vibrant nightlife, café-culture and cutting-edge designer fashions. Sweet little Lier, known for his béguinage, listed by Unesco. Brughes: one of Europe's most romantic getaways. Ghent is known to be one of the most authentic city's. We can also recommend you Mechelen and Leuven. In French speaking Wallonia most attractions are contrastingly rural: caves, castles, bucolic valleys and outdoor activities. Fascinating Liège, Namur with his mighty fortress and pitoresque old town centre, Bouillon with his 'chateau', Dinant, beautifull nature in Rochehout et La Roche-en-Ardennes. The Eastern cantons is best known for the Hautes Fagnes area of moorlands (largest nationally protected naturereserve) that lies between pleasant towns Eupen and Malmédy. Here you also find the Spa-Francorchamps Belgium Grand Prix Formula 1 circuit.. And than you have Brussels of course. The Grand Place is one of world's most beautifull squares. Don't mis the unique 1985 Atomium.
Belgium is the capital of Europe. Very good connections by highway's, high-speed trains or low-cost flights to other European cities as Amsterdam , Paris, London, Berlin, Madrid, Barcelona, Venice,....
