Can I bring my dog?

Yes, there are some destinature log huts, destinature hut plus and destinature hut available for you and your four-legged friend. Unfortunately, dogs have to stay outside in our destinature summer huts and the destinature bed to go’s, but they can still be booked with a dog on warm summer nights. You pay €10 per night for your pet. Please send your booking request to hitzacker@destinature.de or suedeifel@destinature.de and we will see if your desired hut is available. We ask all visitors with their animal companions to be considerate of the site and other guests. Dogs get their own bed and should not sleep in our beds, they should be leashed and not bark loudly. Please also be considerate of other guests in the bistro.
