The Harz is known as the northern German mountain paradise, with its reservoirs, hiking trails, forests, caves and of course the impressive mountain landscape, it is a true natural wonder.
But the Harz is not only suitable for recreational sports, hiking or relaxation - it is also home to some of the most interesting cultural sites in the country, with castles, mountain huts and all kinds of things to discover in addition to various towns.
And Anja and Lutz's vacation home is located in a dreamy old town in the middle of the Harz Mountains. Over 330 years old, the listed farmhouse was used a hundred years ago to drive geese out of the town through a small gate onto the meadows. During the renovation, the couple took great pains not to "gut" the house and also preserved the original room layout and the rooms themselves, using almost exclusively materials such as clay, straw, wood fibers and old beams.
The house therefore has a very special, original charm - it is divided into many small rooms and offers space for up to 6 guests with its three bedrooms. But beware: two of them may have to pull their legs in at night, because one of the three double beds is a stylish but old bed (with a new mattress) and therefore only 195 cm long.
It is precisely this charm of historic country life that makes the house something very special and the stay a unique experience.
The historic wood-burning stoves, the cozy kitchen with sitting area, the loving furnishings in old-fashioned country house style meet modern standards and comfort, which is why you will find two modern renovated bathrooms and a dishwasher in the kitchen. Children are very welcome, there are two cribs, highchairs and a playground just a few meters from the house and both the house and the exciting surroundings are perfect for an adventure vacation: back in time.
