Kochel / Aschau - Sunday morning in the shadow of the Kampenwand - the hiking parking lot Hintergschwendt is bursting at the seams. Day trippers park on the narrow access roads. Even meadows and fields of the farmer are not spared - Corona virus, was there something there?
The weather on Sunday attracted locals, but also many from Munich and the surrounding area to the mountains. For example, the police in Brannenburg reported a "steady influx of vehicles". Especially in the area of Bad Feilnbach and the Samerberg there were traffic jams due to the crowded parking lots. Around 10 a.m., the hiking parking lots were overcrowded. In Prien am Chiemsee , those seeking relaxation stormed the lake shore.
Similar pictures were depicted from the district of Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen , where there were also a multitude of motorcyclists on the parked Kesselberg between Kochel and Walchensee . Police chief Johannes Kufner from Tölz speaks of "brutal excursion traffic". A patrol on the B 13 from Lenggries to Tölz counted almost 90 motorcycles in one direction in twelve minutes. The descriptions of the traffic situation range from "crazy" to "catastrophe" to "hell".
Corona in Bavaria: Chaos on the mountains - Mayor sends brand letter to Munich
Hans Schandl is a citizen of the small community of Jachenau . He was also annoyed by the chaos of the excursion on Sunday and wrote an email to District Administrator Josef Niedermaier. "Here politicians are urgently required to take short-term measures to prevent a traffic attack - not only for us, but also in the many other destinations." Schandl even considers " tickets " to the local recreation areas to be useful.
The latter may be an individual opinion. But the mayor of Thomas Kochel is also alarmed by the rush of day trippers, mainly from the greater Munich area . Everything was parked on the Kesselberg . "Up the hill and down the hill" there was a constant backlog. He has "never experienced such a traffic situation as on Sunday," says the mayor of Jachenau, Klaus Rauchberger. Hiking parking lots, for example at the "Schützenhaus" in Jachenau, were already full at 9 a.m. Meadows were also used as a parking lot, and the grass ready for mowing was trampled on. Rauchberger hopes that it will not always be that bad in the course of the summer - when the border with Austria is open again, day-to-day tourism could spread better.
Corona in Bavaria: Munich's cause chaos in the mountains
Kochel's mayor Thomas Holz yesterday wrote to the Bavarian Ministry of the Interior asking for more personnel for the Kochel police station or for the riot police to reinforce them. "You can't cover that with just one patrol," he says. He also hopes that traffic violations will be dealt with more easily and consistently - this is where the special purpose association for municipal traffic monitoring is required.
Local resident Hans Schandl is meanwhile annoyed by the double standards of some wildlife parkers. “Although people sign at home against bee death and go out on the streets on Fridays for environmental protection . But as soon as it comes to personal freedom, everything is forgotten and it is only about your own selfishness. "
