House in Ehrendingen close to medieval Baden, Switzerland
Our semi-detached house (180 m2) was built in 2004 in a very quiet and family-friendly place on the land.
The house consists of following rooms:
– First floor: Kitchen, WC and dining room/living room.
– Second floor: master bedroom, guestroom, study and bath/shower.
– Third floor: 2 spacious bedrooms, WC/shower.
We have a small but quiet garden with a terrace and a gas grill.
We have 2 race bikes, 1 mountain bike, 1 city bike and 1 electric bike. The car that we want to exchange is a Renauld Megane hybrid.
Our house is in walking distance of the centre of Ehrendingen, a village of around 5000 inhabitants close to the medieval city of Baden (5km) and Zurich, Switzerland's largest city (30km). Lucerne (65km), Basel (80km) and Bern (100km) and most Swiss cities are close enough for one day trips.
Our area offers entertainment and sightseeing for everybody:
– For nature lovers
• Hiking paths (right around the corner). You can walk to the medieval town of Baden (45 minutes by foot) or through the woods to the top of the Lägern hill (Burghorn, about 90 min.) to have a magnificent view over the area. There are plenty more beautiful hikes in the area.
