Location and surroundings of object
The formerly free mountain town of Altenau is located in the north-western part of the Harz Mountains and is one of the 5 Upper Harz towns. Adjacent to the Harz National Park, Altenau and its surroundings offer one of the most beautiful hiking areas in the region. One of the most beautiful hiking trails to the Brocken starts from the higher-lying district of Torfhaus. A varied programme of guided walks helps you to explore the Upper Harz and its diversity. The unique "Heißer Brocken" crystal sauna spa offers relaxation and recreation. Europe's largest herb park with a large outdoor area and spice gallery invites you to visit. In the centre of the village you will find small shops and numerous restaurants. The traditional "Altenauer" brewery is always worth a visit. In winter, the ski slope "Auf der Rose" and numerous cross-country ski trails offer unlimited winter fun.
Karl's holiday home is located in a quiet side street directly in the centre of Altenau. The Kristall Therme "Heißer Brocken" and the KräuterPark are only a few minutes' walk away.

Beautiful large house with plenty of space for our big group.

We had a great stay!
We booked the accommodation for a week in June and celebrated a birthday there. The accommodation is clean and has a great location, you are right in the mountains, the bakery is very close by. The sauna is highly recommended. The providers or contacts were very nice and easily reachable.

Dear guests, i grew up in beautiful Southern Friesland, near the Neuchâtel primeval forest, but now, as a single mother with my three children, I enjoy living in the city. Growing up in the countryside was the best thing that could have happened to me. So I opened my house in Friesland, the Köpkenhuus, to my guests to give you this feeling of breathing freely too - if only for a holiday. It is nice to pass on things that you yourself have found fulfilling. The Steiger-Gustav-Haus and Karl's Ferienhaus in the Harz Mountains are the counterparts to the Köpkenhuus. It is a beautiful contrast to Friesland and it has its very own flair. It is located in the heart of the Upper Harz and everything is within easy reach from here. The different seasons can be experienced intensively here. The largest continuous forest in Lower Saxony is here and invites you to take a deep breath. Wish you a wonderful time in the houses of the Eilerschen Heimat!
