Exit restrictions apply in Bavaria. Nevertheless, the rush - especially in good weather - from day trippers to the Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen district.
- Not all can be dissuaded from excursions by the coronavirus crisis.
- In the Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen district, this worries the mayors.
- The municipality of Kochel am See is particularly affected.
+++ UPDATE APRIL 3rd +++
At popular destinations such as Kochel and Walchensee, in the Isarwinkler Mountains, on Lake Starnberg or in the Pupplinger Au, brisk excursion traffic is expected again for the weekend - or feared. In one of his video messages, which he publishes daily on the Internet (lra-toelz.de), District Administrator Josef Niedermaier now calls: "If we persevere, we will stay at home!"
It is “hard to believe,” says Niedermaier: “As soon as the weather is nice, the parking lots on our mountains and lakes fill up.” Since most of the day trippers come from the greater Munich area, “I have the subject at my district and local councilors Mayor colleagues addressed ". Since it is important to avoid infections with the corona virus, the district administrator appeals: “Also think about the employees in the clinics and in nursing! Do yours too! You are welcome to go out into the fresh air on your own, but do not go on long excursions. "Visitors and day trippers are always welcome in the district -" but please not now! "
The Bavarian Oberlandbahn also has its say. "Under normal circumstances we are of course happy about well-attended trains," explains managing director Fabian Amini. "However, under the current circumstances we urge our passengers: Please check before the trip whether it is possible and necessary given the exit restrictions." And Amini adds: "If possible, it is best to postpone your trip - in the spirit of yours Health and that of your fellow human beings. "
The BOB announces that it will use a security service to check the required distance rules when boarding and on the trains "to protect everyone".
+++ report from March 31: +++
Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen - Despite the corona crisis and exit restrictions, there was a large number of day trippers last weekend. This is a major headache for several mayors in the district. You have now agreed with District Administrator Josef Niedermaier that he should bring these concerns to the government.
The municipality of Kochel am See was particularly affected recently: As reported, many hiking car parks on the Kesselberg were full. Mayor Thomas Holz also reports that, for example, there were numerous cars along the B 11 in Pessenbach - from there you can set off on a popular tour towards the Rabenkopf. On the Jochberg , dozens of people were to be found at the summit at the same time, as wood heard.

"We also had the situation that locals no longer dared to go to the supermarket because the parking lot was so full - with cars with Starnberg, Ebersberg, Munich and the like." He could understand that many local people were angry . "They say: 'We stick to the exit restrictions and stay inside, and then half of Munich comes to the Kochelsee .'"
Corona in the Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen district: fear that the location could become even more explosive during the Easter holidays
He therefore raised the issue in a daily conference call between the district mayors and the district office, says Holz. His worries that the situation could become even more explosive in the coming weeks with rising temperatures, a growing "camp freak" and on Easter holidays would be shared by his counterparts from the particularly affected communities of Jachenau, Lenggries, Gaißach and Münsing. The district administrator Niedermaier now wants to pass it on "upwards".
Wood itself would welcome a state ban on excursions . How exactly it should be designed, you have to think more carefully. "But there should be clear rules in any case." Some northern German states would already show it and "consistently check" on the access roads to the North and Baltic Seas, so that the beach towns are not overrun by hamburgers. The previous appeals by politicians and the police "are good and nice," says Holz, "but apparently they do not deter a large number of people ."
