Youth tent site Ith
Dear climbers, dear guests,
Welcome to the JDAV Nord youth tent site. 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. A five-minute walk from the Lüerdissen area, the Ith youth tent site is surrounded by the Ith and Ith meadows nature reserves. The tent site belongs to the northern regional association of the Youth of the German Alpine Club (JDAV Nord). The operation, maintenance and further development are organised and guaranteed on a voluntary basis by the campsite department of JDAV Nord and the Ith working group (AG-Ith).
The tent site is non-commercial. The income from overnight fees and donations is used to cover running costs and to maintain and develop the site. The tent site is primarily intended for JDAV members, but is open to all climbers, hikers and nature enthusiasts. You can find all the details below and soon on the other subpages of the tent site tab. The overall website and especially the english translation is still developing. We are sorry if you cannot find the information you need yet.

Spend the night on the Ith - how it works:
If you would like to spend the night with us, you can simply come along and pitch your tent somewhere on the meadow without having to book in advance. You can also spend the night in your car, but you pay the same overnight fee. Please note: Groups of 10 people or more are required to book in advance!
We do not have a reception, but volunteer members of the AG-Ith usually come to the Ith at weekends between the beginning of April and the end of September to collect the overnight fees, open the washrooms and clean the toilets. It is therefore not necessary to register at reception, as is the case at other campsites. However, please go to the red hut yourself and find out where you can pay the overnight fees. If you cannot find anyone, please transfer the fees to the specified account yourself. This is the only way we can finance the operation (water, electricity, rubbish, etc.) and maintenance of the site.

For planned group stays during the week, a key will be sent on request. For this we require a deposit of 60€ plus a processing fee of 5€. In this case, the deposit, processing fee and accommodation charges must be credited to our account at least 4 weeks in advance. The key will be sent to you approximately one week before your arrival.

Group registrations can only be cancelled in full with a notice period of 7 days. Cancellation in writing, stating the organiser and, if applicable, the account holder (from the account from which you have transferred the fees) to zeltplatz@jdav-nord.de. A cancellation fee of 5€ will be charged.

The toilets, washrooms and cabins must be cleaned at the end of the stay and in between if necessary. The toilets must be flushed at least once a day for approx. 60 seconds to prevent the pipes from clogging.

Jugendzeltplatz Ith
Naturnahes Zelten, 5 Minuten von den Felsen. Feuerstelle, kalte Duschen - brr! Wir arbeiten am Konzept des klimaneutralen, autarken Zeltplatzes, den man am besten Co2-neutral erreichen kann. Einfach vorbeischauen und genießen!
