You’ll find this picturesque coal-miner’s house nestled among meadows, fields, and forests between the villages of Neudorf and Dankerode. Here you can enjoy your getaway in absolute tranquility, far from the noise and hustle and bustle, and wake up each morning to a view of nature and one or more four-legged neighbors. Your warm and welcoming hosts include not only Isabel and Michael, but also horses, a pony, a donkey, goats, and the family’s two dogs. Four-legged companions—whether dogs or horses—are warmly welcome at the Zechenhaus. The hosts are also happy to take experienced riders on a horseback ride through the countryside around Dankerode.
This lovingly run mini-farm is the perfect destination for a nature-filled, active, or simply relaxing holiday in the green Selke Valley. Your hosts can also arrange a horse-drawn carriage ride for you in town.
