Our charming detached house is located in the small, but lively town of Winterswijk with 30.000 inhabitants. The town is located in the east of the Netherlands, at the border of Germany (only 10 km away). Nature is all arround the town, well known for the scenic landscapes and nicely restored farming houses. Our home is about 1 km away from the city center, wich can be easily reached by foot , bicycle or car. There are a lot of small pubs, restaurants and in the summer pavements to sit in. Because the roads and cycling paths are very well made in oud area, (hand)biking is easy, also to drive with an (electric) wheelchair. The owner has a manual wheelchair, and on the ground floor there's an adapted bathroom and sleeping room. The kitchen is also adjustabel. Upstairs there are 4 beds and a separate bathroom. From Winterswijk it's about 35 min drive to the nearest big city of Enschede, 50 min to Arnhem. There are also nice places to visit nearby. Our house has a terrace on the front, to the sunny side (south), and a terrace in the back for more shaddow. We are looking for a one, preferably 2-week swap in the period 22th of july till the end of september. We can't swap adapted cars because we need our own to travel.
