  Description

  Welcome to our home in Kraichtal!
  We live in a beautiful house in the countryside of Kraichtal, a region known for its vineyards and hiking opportunities. Heidelberg and Karlsruhe are just 40 km away, Stuttgart and Mannheim 60 km, and even France is not far.
  
  We enjoy cooking fresh, mostly vegetarian meals, using organic ingredients whenever possible. My wife Jenny runs an organic food store with a café, where she shares her passion for high-quality, sustainable food. We are an open-minded family who loves traveling and exchanging ideas with people from different cultures.
  
  I’m Steven and work for a large software company, where I interact with colleagues from all over the world. Our 14-year-old son Fin still lives at home, while our 21-year-old daughter Zoe has already moved out. Our family also includes a friendly Spanish Water Dog named Chica.
