User Questions

Sehr geehrtes DAV Team, wir (ca. 20 Personen, die Hälfte ca. Mitglied beim DAV, so wie ich auch) möchten gerne das Haus vom 6.2.26 bis zum 8.02.2026 komplett mieten um Wanderungen dort zu machen. Ich war schon öfters mit dem DAV dort und es gefällt mir dort ausgesprochen gut. Was muss ich tun für die Reservierung, was benötigen Sie von mir (Kopie Mitgliedsausweis, etc. Namen der Beteiligten?). Über eine Rückmeldung würde ich mich sehr freuen. Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Axel Schulze Mitglied 110/00/495240 seit 2017

Moin Axel, ich habe schon vor einigen Jahren meine Aufgabe als Hüttenwart der Sepp-Ruf-Hütte aus Altersgründen abgegeben. Dennoch freut es mich, wenn Dir die Hütte gefällt und Du mit einer Gruppe ein paar Tage dort verbringen willst. Die Hütte kannst Du online auf der Website der Sektion "Hamburg und Niederelbe" unter www.dav-hamburg.de, buchen. Dort sind auch die Bedingungen aufgeführt. Ich wünsche Euch viel Freude im Harz. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Werner Fritsche
