Moin and welcome to Friedrichstadt near the North Sea coast!
Dear Intervac Friends
2021 we changed our home and we live now in the beautiful city Friedrichstadt, near the North Sea coast with a lovely garden.
Welcome to a holiday region between the Danish border and the Elbe. Here you will find peaceful villages and beautiful thatched houses, and the green dykes tempt with comfortable wicker beach chairs where you can enjoy the fantastic view. Historical towns such as Friedrichstadt, Husum and Tönning offer cosy shopping tours and musuem visits. St. Peter Ording is famous for the long sandy beach. Explore the Wadden Sea area which has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List and the halligen are a unique experiance to be found nowhere else in the whole world. Further it is easy to reach the North Frisian island Sylt, Amrun, Föhr and Pellworm.
A large number of museums and culuture institutions awaits you. Many exhibition inform about the North Sea but there is even a North Frisian museum which is world famous: the Nolde Foundation Seebüll.
Friedrichstadt is built 400 years ago and also called little Amsterdam. More inspiration see: https://www.friedrichstadt.de/
From Friedrichstadt you can discover easily the North of Germany also the Baltic Sea ist not far away (45 min by car). A day trip to Hamburg is possible by car or train. Please ask us, we know Hamburg very well.
However, is going far away on many trips every day really necessary? Some activities such as swimming at the Treene-river, hire a boat, stand-up-paddling or take a tour at the lovely old town (400 years old) are easily to reach by foot or bike . Restaurants, supermarkets, bakeries and the train station are not far away (10-15 min. by foot). Just feel free to use our bikes, take the train or the car in order to spend an interesting day.
At our home, you find anything you need for a nice stay. The house is equiped with 2 TV, DVD, 2 stereo systems and wifi. In our lovely garden you can relax. We live in a quiet and childfriendly area. Would you like to have barbecue? Then you are welcome to use our charcoal grill.
Do you still have further questions?
We`re looking forward to hear from you

Kerstin, Uwe and Lena were a lovely family to exchange with. Their home was better than described and they left us plenty of information about the area. We felt very welcome and had a very good holiday there. Our home was spotless when we returned!
We passed wonderful holidays in Galway. Nice conversation with Tish and Eugene before and during the stay. We loved your garden and home which was well prepared. Good public transport to the city, peaceful atmosphere with good music :). We recommend
Das Haus war treffend beschrieben. Tauschpartner waren sehr bemüht und haben uns mit aktuellen Information versorgt. Wir hatten einen schönen Aufenthalt.
La maison était conforme à l'annonce. Bonne communication avec la famille. Nous avons passé un agréable séjour: très belle région à découvrir.
