House in Bergen, Norway.
A lovely spacious(270 m2) home and garden in Bergen, Norway. We have a heat pump, so the house is always nice and warm (23 degrees Celsius in the living-room, and 20 in bedrooms). Bergen is an old charming town containing the Unesco world heritage site "the warf of Bergen", and is called the Gateway to the Fjords.
Our house has a nice fjordview, is large (5 bedrooms, 270 m2), lies in a large and lovely garden (1700 m2) in a quiet dead end street within a quiet area. Grocery stores and shopping centres are nearby, and you are only 12 minutes away from the centre of Bergen by car. The fjords and mountains are close in all directions. From our home you may walk in quiet streets with little traffic and reach woods, playgrounds, football courts, big trampolines, all free to use.
National Geographic describes the Norwegian fjord landscape as "amazing and aesthetically one of the most beautiful in the world. The icons of Norway are so unique that it is difficult to imagine anything else". In addition to scenery, the fjords also offer opportunities like fjord cruise with classic boats, visting farms with fruit and local produce, family parks, hiking, walking on glaciers, visiting salmon farms and hydropower stations, kayaking...See https://hardangerfjord.com/en/
Bergen is an old and lively city founded in 1070 and with large areas of old wooden houses. See https://www.visitbergen.com/

Texto de apresentação da família
We are a quiet and responsible family who enjoy mountain hiking and our Intervac exchanges.
Magne is the father, born in 1961, senior scientist in forest ecology and ornithologist, makes lists of all passing birds.
Åse is the mother, born i 1961, highschool teacher, likes taking care of the grandchildren, reading, and walking the dog.
We have four children and three grandchildren. Our children have moved from home. Two of them are doing master programs, one is doing a doctorate program, and one is a teacher. Our dog is a kind golden retriever who stays elsewhere while we are on our intervac exchanges. We have a few friendly hens in a small house in the garden that needs food and water every third days.
Estilo de vida
I am a teacher and my husband is a senior scientist. We have four children: two grown-up girls (32 and 26 years old) and two boys (22 and 18 years old), and two grandchildren so far. Usually only three or four of us go on holidays together now. We love to ski in the mountains during winter, walk in the mountains in the summer and see the world with Intervac!
