The nature house stands on the river Bode in the Harz. At an altitude of 385 meters, the house is located in a valley where the small village of Neuwerk with 120 inhabitants lies. The house is surrounded by forests and is located on several hiking trails, such as the long-distance trail "the Hexenstieg". It is an almost 300 year old half-timbered house with a spacious garden which also contains the manager's bungalow. In the garden is a covered barbecue area and a playhouse for children. There are several terraces, so you can always choose between sun or shade. On the first floor there are several areas to stay; there is a living room, dining room and a television room, so that if the group is large, people can always find a quiet place. Within walking distance of the house you will find a mountain lake (the Blaue See), a natural swimming pool (mineral water and not chlorinated) and two accessible caves (Hermannshöhle and Baumanshöhle). In Wernigerode there is a fantastic indoor pool at the Hasseröde Ferienpark (20 kilometers). Within a radius of 25 kilometers there are very many day trips possible.
Nature and surroundings
The Harz, a part of Saxony Anhalt, is a central mountain range with the highest peak being the Brocken (1134 meters). On the adjacent Wurmberg is a nice ski area. The forests consist mainly of softwood, but there are also beautiful parts with beech trees. There is a lot of wildlife. Wild boar walk 100 meters from the house at night, if you are lucky you can hear the deer in October, there are raccoons and around 80 lynxes live in the Harz. The river Bode provides a soothing constant sound of running water. The river holds trout and you can see fly fishermen fishing.

House built in 1730; very cool when it’s hot
All the amenities are there, even a charging station. But it’s quite dated and hasn’t been professionally restored—you’ll either love it or hate it. The landlord is very helpful; even though he’s on vacation himself, he responds very quickly to questions. So all in all, it’s quite niceWoning uit 1730, erg koel als het heet is
Faciliteiten is allemaal aan wezig, zelfs een oplaadpunt. Maar veel gedateerd, niet vakkundig gerestaureerd, je houdt er van of je gruwt er van. Verhuurder is heel behulpzaam, zelf op vakantie, maar reageert heel snel op vragen. Dus alles bij elkaar heel primaBeautiful surroundings, freedom, peace and quiet, hiking from the back. The East German atmosphere is still recognizable. Gorgeous towns with many old half-timbered houses, though some are still neglected, despite extensive renovations.
Mooie omgeving, vrijheid, rust, wandelen vanaf de achterkant. Oost Duitse sfeer nog steeds herkenbaar. Prachtige plaatsen met veel oude vakwerkhuizen, ook nog verwaarlozing, ondanks veel opknappen.

It’s a wonderful home that’s over 300 years old. The floor slopes a bit here and there, but we thought that really added to the charm of staying in this house!
Everything you could possibly need is provided.Het is een geweldige woning die meer dan 300 jaar oud is. Hier en daar loopt de vloer wat schuin, maar dat vonden wij absoluut passen bij de charme van het verblijf in deze woning!
Alles wat je nodig kunt hebben, is aanwezig.A lovely, spacious home. There are a few other homes in the immediate vicinity, but it’s very quiet. When you’re sitting in the garden, you can hear the babbling of the stream a little further away! Beautiful nature walks, starting right from the house.
Fijne, grote woning. Een aantal andere woningen in de directe omgeving, maar zeer rustig. Als je in de tuin zit, hoor je het klateren van de beek iets verderop! Mooie wandelingen in de natuur, ook direct vanaf de woning.

A beautiful, albeit old house, which offers many possibilities. It is off the beaten track, but you can still easily reach the many beautiful places in the Harz.
Ein schönes, wenn auch altes Haus, welches viele Möglichkeiten bietet. Es liegt ab vom Schuß, trotzdem kann man die vielen schönen Orte im Harz gut erreichen.
Simple living, with a very nice garden. The house had everything you need. The beds were freshly made and everything was clean.
Einfaches Wohnen, mit einem sehr schönen Garten. Das Haus hatte alles, was man braucht. Die Betten waren frisch bezogen, alles war sauber.
