Hallo Norbert, ich habe den Hüttenwirt informiert, dass im Buchungssystem vielleicht etwas falsch eingestellt ist. Er wird sich kümmern; zur Not kannst du ihn auch per Mail kontaktieren.

Vermutlich war das lediglich ein ganz einfacher Tippfehler! 🥺 „u“ und „i“ liegen auf den allermeisten Tastaturen dieser Welt in trauter Einigkeit nebeneinander ... LG Dieter

Hallo Erika, Lüsens wurde mal als "Lisens" geschrieben. Der DAV konnte sich eine lange Zeit nicht an die neuere Schreibweise gewöhnen. Es sind auch oft unterschiedliche Schreibweisen wie Kogl oder Kogel zu finden. Wenn man alte DAV-Karten mit aktuellen Karten vergleicht, finden sich oft solche Unterschiede. Somit handelt es sich nicht um einen Schreibfehler, sondern um den historischen Namen. Wann dieser geändert wurde, weiß ich leider nicht. LG Karl
