Was that the last rush for four weeks?
Or the prelude to more?
Impressions from the last weekend before the new lockdown - at popular excursion locations in the district.
During the last lockdown, the foothills of the Alps groaned under the onslaught of townspeople at the weekend.
Will there be similar scenes in the coming weeks?
A tour of the district in search of answers.

- In March, you quickly forget because it was a long time ago, the police officers patrolled the end of the motorway.
Those who had no reason to come and stay were sent back.
The foothills of the Alps groaned under the onslaught of city dwellers, who drove away from the Corona restrictions at the weekend, looking for a bit of freedom.
Now it's lockdown again, this time in a light version - although you don't really have to use this terrible term.
Because nobody is actually locked away, as the word implies.
The local newspaper went on a tour through the district on the last weekend before the new restrictions in November, a sunny one on top of that, and asked the question: Was that the last rush for four weeks or just the start for more?
Everything very decent at the Fohnsee
First you should clarify whether such a powerful word like rush is really needed.
Martha Aichbichler, who works as a waiter in the Waldhaus am Fohnsee in Iffeldorf, helps with classifying.
She constantly entertains the guests there and therefore knows that it wasn't the last big rush.
“It was a good day, but not the bombing day like last Sunday,” she says shortly before closing time on Saturday.
They had feared the worst.
Like last week: at eleven thirty, before noon, all the seats were occupied, the staff ran out, luckily the beer wasn't.
This time the bosses raised their staff to the maximum.
But it was then very civilized at the Fohnsee.
At sunset, a truly magnificent one, two handfuls of guests were still sitting in the beer garden.

Are shops in Weilheim's old town allowed to become apartments?
Where does this new reluctance come from?
Perhaps, that may sound like a daring thesis, people have become a little smarter.
You have already experienced this in a considerably more rigid variant.
In any case, Marianne Röhl from the Hotel Pöltner Hof in Weilheim reports: “There was no panic, no big panic departure.” No guest was thrown out of his room either.
Everyone stays until their last day.
“It runs completely normally.” From today, Monday, only business customers are allowed to check in.
Röhl finds the new regulation for the hotel industry "annoying".
When in October they were still “very busy” in their 41-room house and the adjoining restaurant.
After the declaration by the Chancellor, the Pöltner Hof received consolation mail.
Guests wrote how much they regretted the situation.
“It's nice that we get sympathy.” But the warm words don't make up for an empty hotel lobby.

From Fürstenfeldbruck to the Hohen Peißenberg by mountain bike: Barbara and Bernd Woköck.

The warm days are definitely over - according to statistics.
Compared to October, the number of hours of sunshine halved in November from 109 to 53. Says the long-term average, which can be found at statista.com.
On sunny days, Barbara Woköck from Fürstenfeldbruck is sure, people will go out for the next 29 days, lockdown or not.
She sits on the stone wall in front of the pilgrimage church on the Hohen Peißenberg, which on Saturday was one of the most coveted spots in the district.
You came by car, mobile home with deckchairs, motorbike, on foot or - like Woköck and her husband Bernd - by bike, three and a half hours of easy pedaling time.
Woköck estimates that it should look like this again at 15 degrees in November.
“It's just the weather.
People want out. ”Especially since the other alternatives are breaking away: cinema, restaurant, beer garden.
"It gets tough - but there are also worse things in life," says the Brucker.
This is how she and her husband react to the new restrictions.
"We don't sit in the car as much anymore, avoid long trips, stay at home."

Relies on mutual consideration: Marion Omland from Murnau in the Pollinger artist column hall Stoa 169.

A little solidarity from everyone is still the most effective way to fight the pandemic.
Or as Marion Omland says: “If everyone takes the other person into consideration, it should be manageable.” The Murnau woman wears a mask while walking down the pillars of the Stoa 169 artist hall in Polling.
She had expected many guests that “everyone will go out again”.
But it wasn't like that in Polling either.
It was restrained, not rampant.
Looks like you're walking into the dark month with common sense.
However, this is also the crux of a pandemic, nobody knows whether it will stay that way.
