Nice family house near Basel, right to Germany's border and black forest. 90 min. by car to the Swiss Alps /gemütliches Haus im Nordwesten der Schweiz, Nähe Basel und Schwarzwald, 90 Autominuten zu den Schweizer Alpen.
Our home: the thing I like the most, is our fireplace in winter our little garden during summer. We live in a quiet place, just opposite a children's playground, a forest and a golf course. A shop is in walking distance as well as the bus- and the commuter train stop (5 min. approx.)
Our medieval little town Rheinfelden is worth more than a single visit: Take a stroll along the picturesque market lane with it's little shops, cafes, bars: www.rheinfelden.ch; enjoy also a visit in the unique and relaxing spa (sole uno) http://www.parkresort.ch/de/sole-uno/ . If you're interested in history; the romans lived here as well...! http://www.augustaraurica.ch/ - there are many interesting sites of ruins and remains you can explore.
Why not visit Basel, the beautiful medieval city with its famous museums and beautiful medieval buildings. I'ts only a 15 min. train ride away (or enjoy a river cruise by ship down the river Rhine - from Rheinfelden to Basel or vice versa). Also the Swiss alps are rather close and easily accessible for a day trip; it takes you only a 90 min. drive by car (of course you can also get there by train!). To visit the famous and picturesque black forest: 60 min. drive. Trains: Also express trains stop in Rheinfelden (2 direct trains per hour going to Zurich!)
Even when you do not have a car; you can easily go everywhere by train, bus or bike... You will always enjoy an excellent public transport service all over Switzerland.
Unser Reiheneinfamilienhaus in einer familienfreundlichen Umgebung, 5 Gehminuten von der S-Bahn und Bushaltestelle entfernt. Die Verkehrsverbindungen sind sehr gut ausgebaut. Somit auch für Leute ohne Auto sehr geeignet. Man kommt überall hin!

Rheinfelden is a small medieval town of about 13'500 inhabitants. It is situated on the river Rhine just on the border to Germany (Rheinfelden D). Rheinfelden is about 15 km east from Basel. It is well connected by the railway line and motorway (A3) to Zurich as well to Germany and central Switzerland.

About Our Family
Wir sind unternehmenslustig und geniessen nach der Familienzeit (2 erwachsene Kinder) nun die Unabhängigkeit um zu reisen.
Wir lieben die freie Natur, wandern, laufen Ski, Rad fahren, Schwimmen, ein Konzert geniessen, durch's Städtchen bummeln.
Ebenso freuen wir uns zu lesen, oder einfach nur den Garten oder/ und das Wasser zu geniessen und die Seele baumeln zu lassen.
Now our kids are grown up and we like to travel a litte more. We enjoy the nature, small-medium Cities, skiing, hiking, biking, going to concerts and strolling nice medieval towns. We are also fond of reading, enjoying our garden take a swim in the nearby river Rhine.

GBN002093We met the couple we swapped with on the evening before we departed. We enjoyed an evening with them, over a beer and cups of tea. They stayed with us over night so it was brilliant, having the chance to get to know them - swap information about our homes and give insider suggestions of places to visit. Their home is accurately represented on the Intervac listing page and did not disappoint. Their home town was lovely - a great place to stay.
