ENVIRONMENT
The mountain village of Sieber
The picturesque village of Sieber lies on the edge of the Harz National Park in the Siebertal valley, amidst extensive forests, exciting altitudes and phenomenal views. All these ingredients make this paradise one of the most beautiful hiking areas in Europe. A nature reserve known for its unique flora and fauna, where there are new discoveries to be made with every adventure. In addition to the beautiful surroundings and wonderful nature, and despite the fact that Sieber is a small village, there is also plenty to do in the village!
‘Große Wiesen’ leisure park
For children, the approx. 65,000 m2 ‘Große Wiesen’ leisure park, which is less than a 3-minute walk away, offers a large adventure playground. Here they can climb and scramble to their heart's content or slide down the high slide. The park also has a mini golf course and an outdoor pool with a children's pool. But the park also offers many recreational opportunities for the older generation. It has a lovely pond and extensive, well-tended lawns with beautiful flowerbeds. Here you can enjoy a nice walk without too much effort.
Nature adventure trail
Halfway up the mountain meadow, by the playground, is the ‘oversized’ or life-size bench, on which people and animals seem to have become little dwarves. You are guaranteed to take great holiday photos here! Hiking in Sieber is also a great experience for children. They can learn interesting facts about the trees and wild animals along the ‘nature adventure trail’. There are also various active elements such as a ‘charcoal burning workshop’, a balance beam, a giant wind game, a barefoot path and many other exciting things. There are also some German poems and songs hidden in the trees.
Panorama trail
The Panoramaweg is a hiking trail that circles Sieber like a cloverleaf. During this hike, as the name suggests, you can enjoy beautiful views of the village of Sieber. From one of the many vantage points, you also have a wonderful view of the holiday home. The panorama trail is also part of the much larger ‘Rundwanderweg’.
Great Kulmke
For those who enjoy hiking in the forest but find the differences in altitude too strenuous, the ‘Große Kulmke’, which is located just outside the village, is a wonderful alternative. Here you can enjoy the beautiful surrounding nature on a long and stable path and also enjoy the surrounding differences in altitude without too much effort. The water of the Kulmke flows peacefully alongside the paths and the flora and fauna grow and flourish all around. And if you look closely, you might even be lucky enough to spot small and large forest animals.
Further highlights and hiking fun
In addition to the smaller hiking trails in and around Sieber, there are also larger ones such as: The Harzer Baudensteig part 2 and part 3 (also part of the Harzer Wandernadel), as well as the European long-distance hiking trail number 6. And the route to the Großer Knollen and the route to the Hanskühnenburg will take you to the most beautiful highlights!
Restaurant ‘Dachstübchen’
The cosy authentic restaurant ‘Dachstübchen’, right next door, offers delicious typical German evening meals and children's dishes! In summer you can also sit and eat in the beer garden. As the Dachstübchen is particularly popular at weekends and during the holidays, the owners recommend booking in advance. Large groups are strongly advised to book in advance. Of course, we can always pass these reservation(s) on to our neighbours. Let us know and we will arrange it!
THE HARZ
The Harz Mountains are a holiday destination with endless possibilities. Nobody needs to be bored here!
In the Harz, every season is a great adventure for young and old. There are plenty of leisure and recreational opportunities for every taste. We believe that even we as residents will never manage to see all the beautiful places and sights! So it is not surprising that many people visit the Harz Mountains every year or even several times a year.
There are already many brochures available that can be viewed and taken away during your stay. But we can imagine that people want to find out at home what they can see and do during their stay. We have therefore compiled a list of links especially for our guests in our guest folder.
Almost all places and sights in the Harz Mountains can be reached within an hour from the holiday home.
