Exchange with this member
Emmental, right next to Bern!
We live in a apartment of 3 bed rooms (a parents bed room and 2 child rooms) on the 3d floor under the roof (penthouse apartment) with a studio combining a living and dining room as well as a kitchen. There is an elevator in the house. It is a newly built house (July 2019), situated in a walking distance to the city centre and railway station. The nearest grocery store is about 5 min on foot. There are a lot of walking paths in the nearby hills and forests, where you can also biking.
Yours sincerely,
Alexey and Marina

About the neighborhood
The small town of Burgdorf at the gateway to the Emmental – thanks to the cheese of the same name, a well-known hilly and forest landscape with spacious farmhouses – possesses an exemplary mediaeval old town with late-baroque patrician houses and an impressive castle. The town is the ideal starting point for excursions into the Emmental and for visits to the surrounding towns of Berne, Solothurn, Biel and Thun.
Encircled by a gentle, hilly landscape and imposing cliffs, this town east of Berne in the Swiss Mittelland is dominated by its castle: the 800-year-old bricks in its walls would have had many stories to recount: such as how this town grew around the largest and best-maintained Zähringen castle in Switzerland. Visitors can enjoy magnificent views of the city and the Bernese Alps from the donjon, which was built at the end of the 12th century.
The Burgdorf old town, comprising an upper town and lower town, is regarded as a jewel of urban architecture. The mediaeval urban architecture has to be admired as being virtually perfect: the upper town between the castle and church mound as a feudal residential town with patrician houses in the Bernese late-baroque style and neo-classical buildings, and the granary quarter at the foot of the castle cliff, the lower town linked to the upper town by stairs, which housed the businesses and trades.
Today, the alleyways of the old town, with their pleasant street cafés and snug small squares are a popular meeting place for shopping, entertainment and culinary enjoyment in a historic setting.
Burgdorf gives sportspersons the opportunity to discover the Emmental and the Mittelland on bicycle. Golfers, on the other hand, will find their pleasure in an attractive 18-hole golf course in the neighbouring town of Oberburg.
You can reach the capital of Switzerland Bern by train in about 20 minutes, Thun and Biel are in ca. 40 min., Lauterbrunen and Wengen in about 2 hours, from there you can reach Jungfraujoch (3600m above the see). Zurich and Basel are in about 1 hour as well as other famous places of Switzerland max. about 3 hours.

I highly recommend Alex and Marina. Functional and very clean apartment. The perfect place to explore Switzerland. Surprises were waiting for us. Our house is left in perfect condition. Thank you very much for the exchange.
Sehr netter und zuverlässiger Kontakt, saubere und neue Wohnung, alles gut im Schuss und funktionsfähig, schöne Stadt, etwas laut von draussen da an einer Hauptstrasse, grosse Terrasse, viel Infomaterial, grosszügig
L'appartement était très agréable à vivre, bien situé par rapport au centre ville que nous avons pu rejoindre facilement à pieds, à travers des petites rues sympas La ville et les alentours également très chouettes, nous avons découvert des coins de Suisse que nous n'imaginions pas, vraiment jolis
La famille est généreuse et fiable. Nous avons eu un très bon contact tout au long de l'échange. Le logement était tout à fait conforme à la description, très confortable et extrêmement propre et agréable à vivre. Comme toujours depuis que nous faisons des échanges de maisons, ce séjour a été une expérience très qualitative.
