Campfires

To make a reservation request, please use the booking calendar or send an email to lagerfeuer@jena.de. You will receive a confirmation of your reservation.

ATTENTION: You must confirm your reservation by telephone or e-mail one week before the reserved date. Otherwise the fireplace will be released again.

Before the fire you must make the payment in our office and fill out a written agreement. Payment is made in cash or by EC card. You will receive the key(s) for the wood box(es) on this date.

The use of the campfire site including 0.5 rm of wood costs 60 EUR. The deposit for the key to the wood box is EUR 20 (refundable after the key has been returned).

A further 0.5 rm of wood costs 40 EUR. In this case, you will receive a second key and must pay an additional key deposit (EUR 20). The total cost for 1 rm of wood is therefore 100 EUR plus 40 EUR deposit.
