Welcome to our vacation rental in the Harz Mountains! It’s located in our historic home, which was built around 1875 and has been lovingly restored by us. The house stands alone on a 5,000 m² lot right next to the forest—an ideal spot for a nature-filled getaway. Our 52 m² vacation apartment can accommodate up to five people. It has a separate entrance and a beautiful view of the Selke Valley. Even when the house was originally built, natural materials from the region, such as slate and clay, were used. During our renovation, we also placed great emphasis on natural building materials, which ensure a pleasant and healthy living environment. We are nature lovers ourselves and look forward to welcoming like-minded guests here in the Harz Mountains. Please note: Access to the apartment on the first floor is via a relatively steep staircase. It is therefore not suitable for wheelchair users or people with significant mobility issues.

Nature and surroundings

Nestled in the wild and romantic Selke Valley, this vacation rental in Mägdesprung offers the perfect setting for a relaxing nature getaway. The Selketal-Stieg and the Klippenweg—nature trails that wind through dense forests along the Selke River and past impressive rock formations—run right nearby. Peace and quiet, birdsong, and sweeping views of meadows and wooded hills characterize the surroundings. The steam-powered Selketalbahn chugs through the valley, inviting you to enjoy leisurely rides. For explorers, there are historical sights such as the Carlswerk industrial monument or the ruins of Anhalt Castle, which bear witness to the area’s eventful past. And the charming towns of Ballenstedt and Harzgerode, as well as the World Heritage city of Quedlinburg, are also not far away.

    We came to Selkethal to go hiking, and there are plenty of opportunities to do that here. There are also a couple of charming towns, Quedlinburg and Stolberg. The nature house is beautifully decorated and was very clean. The apartment is on the first floor, so if you want to sit outside, you have to go down the stairs to get there. The apartment does have large windows with a view of the valley. There are 5 sleeping spots: 3 in a bunk bed and 2 on the sofa bed in the living room. You should keep that in mind if you’re renting the cottage as a couple. The landlady lives in an apartment in the main house and is very friendly and helpful.

    The apartment in the nature house in Magdesprung is surrounded by nature. It’s very peaceful, quiet, and dark there in the evening. From the house, you can walk right into the Selkethal forests. You can take beautiful hikes starting from the cottage. In Magdesprung, there are buses and a small train that runs a few times a day to other hiking trails.
