The Bavarians can leave their house again and plan long trips. How about a trip to the mountains? We present five tours.
- The exit restrictions in the Corona * crisis are a thing of the past in Bavaria.
- So it is high time for a clever mountain tour.
- Here we present five tips for trips for the weekend.
Munich - What a beautiful spring : The sun has been pampering us with its warm rays for weeks . In the mountains she melted the snow up high. Best conditions for a mountain tour . Only the seven weeks were more or less forbidden. The exit restrictions of the Free State stipulated that you should only leave the house for urgent reasons .
Sport was one of them, but it should be practiced as close to the front door as possible. At Tegernsee or in the Karwendel, people reacted irritably to guests from the big city who still drove into the mountains. From egg throwing at Munich cars and scratches in the paint has been reported. Hiking parking lots were blocked.
Hiking despite the Corona crisis: German Alpine Club warns of risk
The exit restrictions have been lifted again since Wednesday , and nothing stands in the way of a march to the summit. The German Alpine Club only asks not to take any risks since the hospitals have a lot to do. Even large groups are taboo , as are the border to Tyrol. The Alpine Police patrol there ! The huts are unfortunately still closed. But you can buy a snack in the valley.
tz Bavarian editor Johannes Welte immediately put the test to the test and climbed the summit of Lake Constance at Lake Tegernsee . The toll road into the Valepp was open, the parking spaces were free - and there was plenty of space on the hiking trails to avoid encounter traffic in order to minimize the risk of infection. Here the tz shows five tours in Munich's local mountains:
