Holiday apartment with comfortable and modern furnishing and a fully enclosed terrace


This detached holiday house is in the mountain village Hohegeiß, part of Braunlage. Even as you approach it along winding uphill roads, through little Harz villages, mountain meadows and a dense forest, you can feel everyday life slipping far away. Hohegeiß at 570 – 642 metres above sea level provides everything a little Harz village needs.

The house opened in 2016 is an original old Harz house built around 1900 and carefully restored and refurbished in recent years.

The two bedrooms on the ground floor are each furnished with a modern box spring bed (180cm wide). The third bedroom has a futon double bed (140cm wide) and an additional single bed (90cm wide), All the bedrooms ensure a good night’s sleep, so you can recharge your batteries for exciting tours through the Harz area.

A 50m² terrace with comfortable garden furniture awaits you behind the house. This terrace is fully enclosed. It is just a few metres to the forest meadow behind it, so you can step out into nature. The cross-country skiing trail ‘am Bohlweg’ or a morning walk with your dog start right here. In autumn you may have the company of a herd of cattle that sometimes grazes on the meadow. Dogs are welcome on request.

In summer, most holiday-makers come to the Harz to experience its indescribable nature. Both experienced hikers and eager beginners can enjoy the well-signposted walking paths. You can put together your own personal tour or take part in a guided hike, getting to know the flora and fauna or listening to true stories about the time when Germany was still divided. The idyllic forest swimming pool is just a ten-minute walk away. You can cool off here in summer. If you are a sports enthusiast, you can go mountain biking along the winding roads around the mountain village, with some challenging ascents.
