In the middle of the Harz Mountains, at the foot of the highest mountain the Brocken (1142m) lies the picturesque village of Schierke. Here we rent out two holiday homes. The cottage Laren is a bungalow, with a bedroom with a double bed, and a small sofa bed in the living room. The cottage Wedde has the bedroom on the upper floor (double bed) with downstairs the living room with sofa bed, shower/toilet and kitchen. The houses can also be rented together and are then suitable for a larger group. The cottages are equipped with modern kitchen and sanitary facilities and are fully equipped. There is internet. You can watch TV with HDMI and your own laptop. The cottages are located in a spacious garden, with several terraces, in the middle of the village close to a bus stop, supermarket and several restaurants. We rent out the cottages based on taking care of bed linen (single duvets and pillows are provided), towels and also cleaning ourselves. There is a private charging facility for charging the e-car that can be used at a cost.
Huisje Wedde has a steep staircase, which makes it less suitable for small children or people with walking difficulties. Only in house Laren is a pet (after consultation) possible.
The Harz National Park is a beautiful nature reserve that is currently in complete change. From a mono-culture coniferous forest, nature now has every chance to develop, with new vegetation and beautiful views in every season. From Schierke, countless hiking trails run in all directions. The climb to the Brocken can be made by bike on asphalt, with the gravel bike there are many more possibilities. Nearby attractions include the steam trains of the Harzer Schmalspurbahnen, a number of beautiful historic towns (Wernigerode, Quedlinburg), the lively centre of Braunlage with a chairlift to the Wurmberg (990 metres). Benneckenstein is home to the Ostdeutsche Fahrzeugmuseum with a beautiful collection of Eastern Bloc cars and other vehicles. The Borderland Museum in Sorge is a special place on the border of the former GDR and FRG, where the book 'The Nomad' by Anya Niewierra is partly set.
