Sunny November also attracted many Munich residents to the mountains.
During a hike in the Karwendel Mountains, a couple got lost in deep snow - and had to be rescued.
Because of the mass rush in Corona times, however, one municipality prohibits cycling on a popular Upper Bavarian lake.
The aim is to better guide the many visitors in the future.
