Vacation in nature – Holiday apartment in Harpe Station in the Altmark
Some places you don’t need to experience to understand them. Others change something as soon as you arrive. Harpe Station is one of these rare places. In the middle of the Altmark, one of Germany’s most unspoiled and quietest landscapes, lovingly designed holiday apartments await you in a historic country railway station – surrounded by meadows, forests, avenues, and a sky that is once again full of stars at night. The Altmark is no place for hustle and bustle. It is a landscape of vastness. Kilometers of cycling and hiking trails lead through almost untouched nature, past old rows of trees, small villages, moors, and lakes. Anyone seeking a holiday in nature will find here what has been lost in many places: true silence. No traffic noise, no crowds, no appointments – only wind in the trees, birdsong, and the feeling of being able to breathe freely again. Harpe station was built in 1922 and was once a lively stop in the countryside. Today, the trains have fallen silent. Instead, nature has reclaimed the place and given it a new purpose. With great care, the listed building has been transformed into a special retreat. The history of the station remains tangible – combined with modern comfort and an atmosphere that slows things down. Whether you are planning a personal retreat, seeking a break from everyday life, or wanting to spend a workation in the countryside – Harpe offers the perfect setting. Here, focused work is just as possible as conscious idleness. The tranquility fosters creativity, clear thoughts, and new energy. Many guests come to write, read, take photographs, or simply have time for themselves without distraction.
For cyclists and hikers, the Altmark is an insider tip. Spacious paths, little traffic, and varied landscapes make every tour a nature experience. And when the sun sets, another special feature of this region begins: an impressive starry sky, as can hardly be seen in many parts of Germany. Stargazers, photographers, and all who love the magic of the night will find ideal conditions here.
The holiday apartments in Harpe Station combine history, nature, and comfort into an exceptional vacation experience. They are a place for people who are not looking for the next event, but for space, tranquility, and authenticity. For all those who want to slow down, recharge, and discover the beauty of an almost forgotten cultural landscape.
Your retreat for vacations in nature, retreats, workation in the countryside, hiking holidays, cycling holidays, and unforgettable nights under the starry sky of the Altmark.

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.

Mr. E. Poppinga
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.
