Olga and Hans, a dream couple that doesn’t want to be one. On the farmer’s farm in Appenzell, the two talked about their relationship with a view.

If you climb the last hundred meters to the small yard of “farmer, single, looking for” farmer Hans (68), you know why the pensioner “has the body of a 45-year-old”. Confirmed by his doctor, says Hans.
The steep slope to the Haus des Innerrhoders is a challenge. Now that the path is covered with snow and ice, city visitors’ cars stop at the foot of the hill.
The farmhouse with a large garden, a herd of goats, two curious but shy cats and some chickens towers over the extensive valley, with a view over Dornbirn in Austria to the Vorarlberg.
Olga is Han’s dream woman
Hans and Olga are sitting in the living room between countless pictures, notes and wooden furniture. The Swiss woman with Russian roots traveled all the way from her adopted home of Marbella (Spain) to answer Blick’s questions: How is the relationship between the “farmer, single, looking for…” couple?
«We like each other very much. We appreciate each other and are really good friends », with these words, Olga shatters the hopes of the fans, because they wanted the sprightly farmer and the lively Spaniard to become a couple. Just like Hans, it seems. Because when asked how his dream woman should be, it is clear: “She has to be honest, loyal and just like Olga. Such a racy Wiibli, you don’t find that every day.”
“I take care of a dog, seven horses and a cockatoo”
Olga wants a man who stays a man, she says. Someone who can tackle and accept her as she is. “Sometimes I’m not easy and my life is complicated too,” says the mother of one son. I take care of my child, seven horses, dogs and a cockatoo. I have so many things that I have to clean up first so that I can get involved in a relationship,” says Olga, explaining why she and the Appenzeller didn’t become a couple.
“It is the way it is,” summarizes Hans. There is no reason for him to be sad and he understands when Olga needs time to put her life in order.
A snap, a laugh and a compliment
The farmer puts a schnapps on the table, pours it out and, as he usually does, laughs out loud from under his white mustache. «It’s always great to spend time with Olga. She has so much power and a good sense of humor.”
The two tease each other again and again, Olga sticks out her tongue at Hans and Hans pinches her side. You can’t shake the impression that the two of you are a great match and would actually like to have a relationship. And Olga admits that neither of them have given up hope: “It’s not possible at the moment. But who knows what will happen in a few months. We will see.”
