Family holiday in the Harz – peacefully located right by the forest, yet close to everything
Welcome to our cosy **“Am Wald” holiday home in Westerhausen near Thale**.
Would you like to explore the Harz Mountains while also enjoying peace, nature and relaxation in the evenings? Then our holiday home is an ideal base. The property is located on our spacious grounds **directly beside the forest**, combining a quiet setting with short driving distances to many popular attractions around **Thale, Quedlinburg, Wernigerode, Blankenburg and Halberstadt**.
Our holiday home is particularly suitable for **families with children**. After an exciting day exploring the Harz, adults can relax on the **covered terrace**, while children can enjoy their own **play and sleeping loft** with plenty of space to play.
### Living and relaxing
The holiday home offers a cosy living area with a **new comfortable sofa bed**, a separate bedroom with a double bed, a fully equipped kitchen with dining area, and a bathroom with both shower and bathtub.
The house also has a **covered terrace with seating and barbecue facilities**. Thanks to the location directly beside the forest, you can enjoy plenty of greenery and a peaceful atmosphere.
A private parking space is located directly at the holiday home.
### Especially suitable for families with children
One of the highlights of our holiday home is the cosy **children’s play and sleeping loft** under the roof.
Here, younger guests can play, read and enjoy themselves. Toys and various play opportunities make sure that even rainy days do not become boring.
There is also an additional sleeping space for children in the loft.
Please note: due to the sloping roof, the ceiling height in parts of the loft is only around **1.50 metres**. The loft is therefore intended exclusively for children.
A **travel cot** is also available for our youngest guests. A high chair can be provided upon request.
When making your booking enquiry, please let us know the ages of the children travelling with you. This allows us to prepare the child’s bed, travel cot, suitable bed linen and high chair as required.
### Many services already included
We want you to know exactly what is included from the beginning.
The rental price already includes:
* final cleaning
* bed linen
* towels
* utility costs
* parking directly at the holiday home
This means you can arrive, settle in and start enjoying your Harz holiday straight away.
### An ideal base for exploring the Harz Mountains
Westerhausen is conveniently located between many well-known holiday destinations and attractions.
**Thale, the Bode Valley and the Hexentanzplatz** can be reached quickly by car. Here you will find cable cars, the chairlift to the Rosstrappe, the Hexentanzplatz, family attractions and numerous hiking trails.
The historic **UNESCO World Heritage town of Quedlinburg**, with its exceptional half-timbered old town, is also only a short drive away.
Further popular destinations can be found in and around **Wernigerode**, including the historic town centre, Wernigerode Castle, family attractions and **Karls in Wernigerode**.
Railway enthusiasts and families can also discover the famous **Harz Narrow-Gauge Railways**. The Brocken Railway, Harz Railway and Selke Valley Railway are among the special experiences many guests associate with a holiday in the Harz.
### Adventure at the Rappbode Reservoir
The **Rappbode Reservoir** is also within easy reach of our holiday home.
Visitors can experience the impressive **Titan RT suspension bridge**, spectacular viewpoints and a range of adventure activities around the reservoir.
Those looking for an even more exciting experience will also find several adrenaline-filled attractions in the area.
### Hiking, nature and relaxation
The Harz Mountains offer countless opportunities for hiking, cycling and walking.
Thanks to our location **directly beside the forest**, your nature experience begins almost at the front door. Start your morning with a walk or enjoy the peace of the forest again after a day of sightseeing.
The famous **Bode Valley** also offers many beautiful hiking trails and impressive landscapes.
### Königstein and the “Camel Rocks” of Westerhausen
Another special attraction can be found directly near Westerhausen: the striking **Königstein rock formation**, also known locally as the **Kamelfelsen or Camel Rocks** because of its distinctive shape.
This unusual sandstone formation is one of the best-known landmarks in the local area and is popular with hikers, nature lovers and climbers.
So you do not have to travel far to enjoy impressive scenery – Westerhausen itself has plenty to offer.
### Summer holidays in the Harz
On warm summer days, the **outdoor swimming pool in Westerhausen** is ideal for cooling off.
After a day at the pool, you can return to the holiday home and enjoy a relaxing evening on the covered terrace.
With its forest location, terrace and wide range of nearby attractions, our holiday home is ideal for a varied family holiday during the summer months.
### Also worth visiting in winter
The Harz is beautiful at every time of year.
When the forest and surrounding landscape are covered in snow, the area around our holiday home becomes especially peaceful and atmospheric. At the same time, many winter attractions in the Harz remain within easy reach.
The holiday home is therefore not only suitable for summer holidays, but also for a relaxing break in autumn or winter.
### Shopping and regional products in Westerhausen
You also do not need to travel far for your everyday needs.
Westerhausen offers shopping facilities as well as several regional producers and shops, including:
* supermarket

* bakery
This makes self-catering easy while also giving you the opportunity to discover regional products.
### Short distances to many towns in the Harz
Thanks to Westerhausen’s central location, many destinations in the Harz can easily be combined during one stay.
By car you can quickly reach:
* Thale
* Quedlinburg
* Blankenburg
* Halberstadt
* Wernigerode
You therefore do not have to limit your holiday to just one area.
Visit the Hexentanzplatz and Bode Valley one day, explore Quedlinburg the next, and spend another day in Wernigerode or at the Rappbode Reservoir – our holiday home is a convenient base for many different day trips.

Feines kleines Häuschen mit allem was man braucht. Sauber, gepflegt und liebevoll eingerichtet. Das Kinderzimmer im Dachgeschoss ist ein highlight für Kinder. Unser Sohn fand es super aufregend und es gab eine Menge Spielzeug. Auch hier alles sehr sauber und übersichtlich einsortiert. In der Küche fehlt es an nichts. Alles funktioniert einwandfrei. Wir kommen gerne wieder.
