  Description

  Hello, we are a German couple which has started a new life in the swedish forest in spring 2019.

  In 30 minutes walk are you by the lake with possibilty to swim, kanoo or fishing. We, our small dog and two cats like it very much here.
  
  
  Hallo, wir sind ein deutsches Paar, das im Frühjahr 2019 ein neues Leben im schwedischen Wald begonnen hat.
  Wir leben auf einem 0,5 Hektar großen Grundstück mitten im Nirgendwo und sind dabei, ein Haus zu bauen, im Garten zu arbeiten und die Natur zu genießen. Wir lernen gerne neue Leute kennen und arbeiten sowohl zu Hause als auch in unserer kleinen Firma (Schreiner).
  
  Die Gegend, in der wir leben, ist ruhig und es gibt viel Natur, aber auch Nachbarn. Das nächste Dorf ist 8 km entfernt und hat alles, was es braucht: kleiner Supermarkt, Bibliothek, Pizzeria…
  In 2 Minuten mit dem Auto oder 30 Minuten zu Fuß erreicht man den See mit der Möglichkeit zum Schwimmen, Kanufahren oder Angeln. Uns, unserem kleinen Hund und zwei Katzen, gefällt es hier sehr gut.
