Description
Cosy and spacious holiday flat in the historic school of Neuwerk in the Harz mountains (near Rübeland), built in 1905. The attic of the building with the distinctive clock tower was completely rebuilt in 2013, while the original character of the building was largely preserved. On the ground floor there are two large former classrooms and a fully equipped kitchen, which you can book for your event if required. Tried and tested for up to 100 people!
The heart of the flat is the large open kitchen-living room with tiled stove. The kitchen is fully equipped and offers seating for approx. 12-15 people at the large dining table. Furthermore, the flat has two shower bathrooms with toilet and a small guest toilet.
The flat has three large bedrooms with single beds (and space for children's beds) and two small bedrooms with double beds.
The newly laid pine floor throughout the flat and the old beams of the half-timbering, which have been left as original as possible, create a uniquely cosy atmosphere. The warmth of the tiled stove and/or the central heating system ensures well-being at all times of the year.
An extra bed in the flat is possible without any problems due to sufficient space. Two children's beds are available free of charge, as are highchairs.
For a larger family reunion, you are welcome to book the holiday home "Kickels Hus Neuwerk" (right next door) (14 beds).
For family celebrations or similar, the large classroom (with kitchen and toilet9 on the ground floor will soon be available. Please enquire if you are interested.
Attention: Celebrations yes, but no wild parties possible!

Location and surroundings of object
Nestled deep in the Bode Valley is the village school, newly built and inaugurated in 1905, with its distinctive clock tower at the entrance to Neuwerk near Rübeland in the Bode Valley. The school grounds are about 1500 square metres in size and are covered with three old chestnut trees. The sound of the nearby Bode river and, when the wind blows, the chestnut leaves are usually the only sounds. The Harzer Hexenstieg (Harz Witches' Path), the dams and the extensive mixed forests offer plenty of hiking opportunities in very peaceful natural surroundings, even without a car. Excursions are tempting to the Hexentanzplatz and the Rosstrappe, to the Brocken by steam train or on foot through the Bodetal. Wernigerode, Quedlinburg, Braunlage, Halberstadt Cathedral and Falkenstein Castle are all within easy reach. Several visitor mines in the area provide an insight into the mining history of the Harz. Current attractions include the 458.5m suspension bridge over the Bode Valley next to the Rappbode Dam and the "Megazipline" with approx. 1000m flight over the reservoir (Harzdrenalin)
There is a wide range of activities for winter sports enthusiasts: many cross-country ski trails are within easy reach, as is the Wurmberg in Braunlage for downhill skiing. The Wurmberg is now also artificially snowed for snow safety. Elbingerode and Schierke also offer cross-country skiing trails and can be reached quickly.
Here, dog and cat say good night to each other:
You will hardly find a more unspoilt and cosy place than Neuwerk in the Harz.
Comprising the four districts of Oberdorf, Unterdorf, Hamburg and Kreuztal, Neuwerk currently has about 130 inhabitants. With no through road, it is correspondingly quiet, as there is only the traffic of the residents and a few quiet-loving holiday guests.
The houses, mostly Harz half-timbered houses, are built into the Bode Valley in a confined space. If you are looking for peace and quiet, nature, outdoor activities or a cosy get-together, you will definitely not be disappointed in Neuwerk

Holiday home with history
A stay in the spacious vacation apartment on the 1st floor of the Old School was 100% worthwhile. The apartment offers plenty of space for the whole family in the 5 bedrooms and especially in the large living-dining room. The large, well-maintained garden has a sufficiently large terrace and can be used for various activities. Our weekend was a complete success. We were there with 6 adults, 2 small children, and a dog. Everyone had space and the opportunity to retreat. The communication with the landlords was friendly and very accommodating. We even received a personal tour of the historical clock mechanism. Would gladly do it again!

Short vacation in the Harz Mountains
We met here with children and grandchildren for a few days. The accommodation is an experience, the on-site care and cleanliness are great, and the weather for hiking was also beautiful. Thank you very much, maybe it will work again sometime.

Weekend with friends.
A belated birthday present - a weekend with friends... Planned for a long time and postponed for almost as long due to Corona - now it has finally become a reality. The accommodation is perfect for 12 people, very nice and ideally located for a visit to the Harz region. The property is lovingly prepared and also visually appealing from the outside. The clock tower is also worth seeing. Everything is there - only perhaps a couch is missing. We enjoyed our stay and felt very comfortable. Thank you very much and we would be happy to come back!
