Description
Vacation in nature – in a place where time passes more slowly
There are landscapes that impress. And there are landscapes that touch. The Altmark is one of the last great expanses of Germany – a land of silent horizons, endless fields, old avenues, forests, moors, and clear starry nights. Here, the attraction is not the spectacle, but the soothing emptiness. Whoever seeks peace will find it here. In the midst of this unique landscape lies Harpe Station – a historic country railway station from 1922. Since trains no longer stop here, nature has gradually reclaimed the grounds. Today, the former station has become an extraordinary retreat: lovingly restored holiday apartments, surrounded by nothing but open space, birdsong, and sky. Whether a vacation in nature, a personal retreat, an inspiring workation in the countryside or simply a few days away from the noise – Bahnhof Harpe is a place to arrive. Hikers and cyclists discover the quiet beauty of the Altmark on almost car-free paths. Stargazers experience nights when the Milky Way becomes visible again. Creatives, seekers and people working from home find here a space where thoughts are allowed to become wide again. Enjoy the view over meadows and fields, the scent of old lime trees, the light of the rising sun, and the rare experience of true silence. The Harpe station combines history, nature, and serenity into a holiday experience that lingers long after. Anyone who has been here understands why the Altmark is considered one of the most unspoiled and tranquil regions of Germany.
Get off. Breathe deeply. And discover a place where you don’t have to do anything – except enjoy the moment.

Location and surroundings of object
The place invites you to retreat for a few days and spend your time at leisure. You can bring your bike and go on wonderful, extensive tours through the northern Altmark.
The railway station is a little out of the way of the village with no neighbouring buildings. The train service was discontinued a few years ago.
Some of the railway equipment is still recognisable; however, nature has almost completely reclaimed the old platforms, the loading road and ramps.

A wonderful time in the Altmark
We were very pleased with the accommodation, in a restored railway station surrounded by nature.
The landlord, Enno Poppinga, had even arranged for sunny weather. Perfect! We will definitely be back!

Holiday at Harper Station
We liked it very much and that's why we will definitely go there again next year.In all categories we got the highest score.Also the landlord,Mr. Poppinga,is very nice,always helpful and considerate.In any case,you need your own car if you want to go to the further surroundings like Arendsee,Salzwedel or Hitzacker.The nature,the forests right in front of the door are wonderful.Numerous bike paths,also the Altmark circular path,invite you to do some sports.

Wonderful oasis of peace..
If you are looking for absolute peace and quiet in the Altmark, this is the place for you. We stayed on the 1st floor of the station. The rooms are stylishly furnished, so there is really nothing missing. We left relaxed after a week. Many thanks to the host!

I am a fan of old country stations, and with Harpe station I have fulfilled a big dream. I live here, work in Berlin and actually have East Frisian roots - three things that don't go together at all, but still go together very well.
