House in Kornwestheim, Germany
We are living in Kornwestheim-Pattonville, about 12 kilometers north of Stuttgart nearby Ludwigsburg.
We have a house that is about 120 qm on three floors. There is the entrance, a toilet, kitchen and living room on the ground floor. Upstairs are two sleeping rooms (one with 2 beds on a gallery) and a bathroom. Downstairs there is one sleeping room and another little bathroom.
Around the house we have a fenced garden with 2 terraces and space to play. We have 2 E-bikes, a hammock for relaxing and a barbeque for enjoying meals outside.
Earlier Pattonville was the third-largest US-town in Germany. Until 1992 about 1300 american families lived here. After the Americans had left Germany the apartements were renovated and a lot of apartments and houses were newly built. Today about 6000 people and especially a lot of kids live here in this green area, located next to the golf course. Our house was built in 2001 with a nice garden in a quiet neighbourhood.
With public transportation you can reach Stuttgart downtown in 30 minutes and Ludwigsburg in 10 minutes. There are a lot of interesting places such as castles, museums (Mercedes-Benz-Museum, Porsche-Museum), old towns or you can go for a bike or hiking tour in the surroundings. Within one hour driving you reach a lot of old, interesting villages as for example Esslingen, Tübingen, Herrenberg. It takes about 90 minutes to go to Heidelberg or Würzburg.
Ludwigsburg Palace is one of Europe's largest baroque residences. It was built by order of Duke Eberhard Ludwig von Württemberg (ruled 1693-1733). The Palace was at times one of the most magnificent courts in Europe, however also experienced periods of neglect lasting several generations. Today it is the focus of interest of hundreds of thousands of visitors. Also interesting is the garden "Blühendes Barock".
If you like hiking or outdoor activities you reach the north of black forest within 45 minutes by car. Or you can decide to visit "Naturpark Stromberg-Heuchelberg" or "Schwäbisch-Fränkischer Wald". Also France or the Lake Constance are a nice day trip.
Further attractions are for example:
Zoological and botanical gardens Wilhelma Stuttgart
Maulbronn Monastry - UNESCO Heritage Site
Tripsdrill Erlebnispark und Wildparadies
