Our Neighbourhood
In the city center there are many shops and nice places to eat and drink. In the summer there are often music festivals in the city. There are many walking and cycling opportunities and various museums. You can use our electric bicycles, it is a nice way to enjoy your surroundings.
Enschede is a characteristic, modern and lively university city. Elegant historic buildings in the city and surroundings are reminiscent of Enschede's rich textile past. Some of the city's most notable landmarks include the beautiful Town Hall, several beautiful churches, and a unique synagogue.

About Our Family
We are a family of 6, but all of the children have already left home. We are happy to exchange with 2 adults. We also have some chickens. These are in a run. With the holiday exchange you don't have to worry about the chickens, the have a feeding machine. Of course you can enjoy fresh eggs.
Lifestyle
We love nature, healthy food, cycling and to go on holidays!!
We also like to go for a walk in the evening. Directly from our house there are several possibilities. With a short round (4 km) we often see deer and other game. Depending on the time of course. We have a wood fired hot tub in the garden. Great after a day to relax or in the morning to watch the sun rise.
We have placed a Kota in our garden. A Finnish wooden hut with a fire pit in the middle. You can also use this.
