House in Altstätten, Switzerland
We live in the beautiful St. Gallen Rhine Valley, near the borders to Austria, Liechtenstein and Germany. Just 20 km away from the Lake Constance, perfect for swimming or boat trips to Germany. Nearby is the beautiful hiking area of Appenzell, Montafon and the Bregenz Forest. The region is very suitable for trips to the mountains (Arosa, Davos, St. Moritz).
The train station is just a 5 min walk away, and there are hourly trains to Zurich (1.5h), Berne (2.5h), Lucerne (2.5h) or Basel (2.5h).
Our house has a big garden with a terrace for barbecue and eating outside in the summer months.
