Tent Site Area
South of Hanover, nestled between the Weser and Leine rivers, lies the Ith. It is the epicentre of outdoor climbing in northern Germany and attracts climbing enthusiasts from all over the north. Five minutes' walk from the Lüerdissen area, our small youth campsite is located between the Ith and Ith-Wiesen nature reserves.
From the B240, just before the highest point of the road, a small turn-off leads in a north-westerly direction past the Ith experiential education centre and a site with old cars up to the tent site car park. The site consists of a large meadow with a few wooded islands, a fire pit, a toilet block, a washing-up station and the Red Hut. If you are there to tent, you can actually pitch your tent anywhere. However, the area behind the washing-up station is reserved for members of AG-Ith.
Red Hut
The red hut is the hub of the tent site. This is where you will usually find the cashiers either relaxing and enjoying the summer, cooking, barbecuing, repairing something in the workshop or holding a meeting of the AG-Ith in the Aufentaltsraum, the party zone.
Party zone
The “Partyzone” recreation room is generally open to all campsite guests. It is usually opened by the cashiers at weekends during the season. Groups that borrow a key for the room do not have exclusive right of use.
The party zone offers
- Numerous beer table sets
- Sockets for cell phones, flashlights, etc.
- A stove
Washrooms
There are two washrooms, which are also open regularly at weekends during the season. If they are locked, you can also use the washing-up area or the washbasins by the toilets for your morning/evening routine.
The washrooms offer:
- Washing facilities
- Cold showers
The washrooms are not intended for washing dishes!
Toilet House
Our toilet house was built in 2000 and replaced the previously used outhouses. French toilets are installed on both sides and a urinal channel on the left side. The toilets are permanently open from the beginning of April to the end of September. During the winter months, the winter toilet in the middle is open. Please keep it closed at all times so that the water pipes do not freeze!
Dishwashing Station
The washbasin between the Red Hut and the toilet house is provided for washing dishes and refilling water bottles. You will also find running drinking water here from the beginning of April until at least the end of September.
