The house is a two storey suburban home, in the middle of a small town called Galten - only 20 minutes from the center of Aarhus.
We have just finished a major renovation and extension, so the house now looks almost completely new. Total m2 175. 5 bedrooms in total - one master, 2 children rooms with beds 70*170 cm, and 2 teenage rooms with full size beds (possible queens) in lofts in connection with the ordinary rooms. Not full height.
Outside there is a wonderful garden with lots of flowers, 2 terraces both east and westbound and a roof terrace sized 35m2 and very sunny- all with furniture. On the north side there is a playground with swings, sandbox and an in-ground trampolin. Our children have had a lot of fun out here.
The house is placed on a small road without throughgoing traffic, close to the city park.
In the backyard we have chickens and our rooster "Hannibal". You will be able to collect fresh eggs every day and only need to them one-twice every week.
“It was our first exchange and we are very pleased that it is with the family of Jakob and Julie. The house is very comfortable, the garden is very beautiful, the area is quiet. The house is very practical and it is nicely decorated, there are all the amenities. The village (Galten) is very close to bike or walk, with all the shops. We loved the city of Aarhus. We really liked Denmark, people are very nice. Our house was spotless when we returned. Exchange 100% successful !!”
“Nous avons découvert le danemark cet été dans la maison de Julie et Jakob et nous y avons passé des vacances très agréables. La maison est jolie, nous ne manquions de rien. L'endroit et le quartier en général est très calme. Les alentours également sont très agréables et nous pouvions faire des ballades à pied ou en vélo. Toutes les commodités sont à proximité. Nous avons pu visiter beaucoup de choses dont Legoland qui est seulement à 1heure de route. Nous avons également pu nous rendre à la mer en 30 minutes. Grâce à cet échange et au conseil de Julie et Jakob nous avons pu découvrir un maximum de choses dans ce joli pays. Merci à toute la famille.”
“Julia and Jacob are a nice couple with two well behaved kids. When we met them on the day they left for Holland we directly feel very welcome in their clean and organized house with beautiful garden. The surrounding is very beautiful and hilly. There are also enough things to do and see. A place worth going to. Best Regards Els & Don Wedman”
“We had a fantastic home exchange in Danmark. I would recommend the house as it is in a nice neighborhood and a short walk to all the local amenities and shops in the small town of Galten. The house is spacious and clean and has every modern convenience. It was lovely to meet Julie and Jakob and the family before the start to Austria. We were also able to visit Aarhus, Silkeborg, Odensee or the beaches from the "Nordsee" and the Kattegat which is near. Julie and Jakob left lots of information for us in the house. Galten was very practical, modern and really clean and have a excellent bakery. Its also a good place to ride the bike. A very successful exchange. Thanks. Klaus, Anna and Sophie”
We are a family of 6 - Julie is 40 and works as a Business Controller, Jakob is 47 years old and a paramedic and 4 girls, Freja (2004), Sarah (2006), Mille - born in 2012 and the baby of the family Signe from 2014.
The Picture shows us after a rather wet (sudden heavy rain) geocaching walk in the south of France in 2017.
You can collect eggs in the backyard, where we have chickens - and they will appreciate some water and food every other day or so.
We are non smokers.
We are always open to new opportunities - and will always answer any requests.
We think you will be just as enthusiastic about the house and garden as we are :-)
Naturally - we will treat your home with the respect it deserves - as we know you'll treat ours.
We have made 4 exchanges by now, Holland, Austria and 2 times France, and looking forward to doing lots more. :)
Galten is a small village - only 20 min. from Aarhus. Here are a small number of stores and 4 supermarkets. There is a small cinema, a restaurant and a library.
Aarhus is the second biggest city in Denmark (also known as the city of smiles).
Here you find both museums, restaurants and lots of activities.
There are also som beautiful beaches in Aarhus.
Silkeborg (also about 20 minutes drive) is a very pretty city - and in this neighborhood you find the biggest hill in Denmark (a rather flat country). There are some beautiful lakes in the middle of Silkeborg, where there are lots of tourboat activities.
Of course there are lots of Lakes to bathe in in Silkeborg as well.
Copenhagen is only 2,5-3 hours away..
