Residents have been complaining about the conditions in the Dachau city forest for years. Now a larger animal is the focus of criticism: the horse.

Lord Mayor Florian Hartmann promised to reflect on riding in the city forest and to think about the matter. The result: "Riding in thecity forest is permissible for the reasons mentioned above and desired by the legislator," Reinhold quotes his boss as saying. The question remains whether there are marked paths on which the riders have to stay. According to Olschowsky, this is only the case if the paths are marked by a traffic law order with a traffic sign.
