El texto en español más abajo.
Altmünster is an ideal calm touring base for visiting charming historical cities like Gmunden (2km), Bad Ischl (30km - European Cultural Capital 2024), Hallstatt, St.Wolfgang (40km), Salzburg (80km)... as well as exploring great nature: many lakes, green hills and high mountains! Some of the higher mountains can be crested by ropeway too :-). You'll find a lot of hiking trails nearby. Our region also offers a variety of cultural events f.e. in Gmunden (www.festwochen-gmunden.at) and other places like Salzburg and Linz. Also during summer you will find a variaty of (classical) concerts in our region!
Vienna can be reached by train or car in 2,5 hours (Altmünster has a railway station). On the photos you can see some parts of our house in Altmünster. We have a big garden with sunny terraces and table-tennis. We have a lot of Lego, Playmobil, Puzzles and board games... Supermarkets, farmacy, cash machine and bakery are in walking distance (5 min) as well as the lake and beach (10 min to go).
Vivimos en Altmünster (en Austria alta), que está situado en el oeste del lago "Traunsee". Está rodeada de colinas y montañas y tiene multitud de lugares agradables para hacer senderismo o escalar.
Esta región se llama "Salzkammergut" y tiene unas ciudades interesantes para visitar (como Gmunden, Bad Ischl, Salzburgo...), maravillosos pueblos como Traunkirchen, Hallstatt y St. Wolfgang así como una gran cantidad de lagos bonitos. A 5 minutos a pie de nuestra casa hay una panadería, supermercado, farmacia, banco… El lago y la playa están a 10 minutos a pie.

About Our Family
Monika (67, retired social worker) and Walter (68, retired med. doctor), we have 3 adult children and 5 little grandchildren who live in Germany, Vienna and Helsinki (Herttoniemi). So we have to travel a lot to meet our children ;-). One or other of them may join us for holiday for some time... We are interested in home exchange with Helsinki any time of the year.
We speak German and English...yo hablo y entiendo un poco de español :-)
Lifestyle
We like hiking in the mountains, swimming, reading, gardening and travelling very much. And we love the sea and beautiful coastlines!
We have a nice garden with vegetables, berries and flowers. You can play table tennis, badminton or garden kricket... or just relax and enjoy! We have a lot of board games, Puzzles, Lego and Playmobil...
Until now we have made 24 wonderful home exchange holidays all over Europe and USA.

GB52153Our holiday at Monika and Walter’s home was a wonderful experience. We had the opportunity to meet them before the exchange which was lovely and they gave us many tips and a lot of information to help us make the most of our stay.. Their house is spacious, welcoming and with everything you need for a relaxing time. Their large garden and balconies are great places to enjoy the beautiful surrounding scenery. We absolutely loved this part of Austria and our time at Monika and Walter’s home. Thank you.
