Now, that we finally
start to be able to keep our head out of the water of the many
chores, we have explored our new “Hausberg”, the hill behind our
neigbourhood. And, to our surprise we found a really proper bushwalk
with beautiful views. Perfect for a recreational walk after work or
as a recommendation for our many guests that we expect.
I add a few pictures of
the exterior of our new home – more pictures from inside will
follow soon as there is still a certain degree of chaos. One great thing is that it is so much warmer - build in 2006, it is fully insulated, only that they still used single glassing, the windows close tight though.
