Despite the lockdown and exit restrictions, a lot of recreational visitors come to Brauneck.
But there were few accidents and little garbage.
Lenggries - The hard lockdown has been in place for a good two weeks.
However, this does not mean that there is a yawning emptiness on Brauneck - on the contrary.
On Monday alone, the lift operators counted around 2500 cars in the parking lots on the Draxl and Streidl slopes, and lift owner Josef Wohlmuth states: "There were an awful lot of people there, more than when we have ski lifts in the valley."
Above all, touring and toboggan riders crowded the slopes, reports Gerg: “On Monday it was amazing.
People stand together in groups - and we are not allowed to open the lifts. ”The only source of income at the moment are the parking machines, which, however, are ignored by many.
If this continues, one may have to think about controls.
His colleague Josef Wohlmuth describes the hustle and bustle on the Brauneck as follows: “The lifts don't work, we have snow-making and the people are having a lot of fun.” He couldn't control what is happening on the slopes, “and I don't like to say about the sledges either , continues to diverge. “You can't blame the children for wanting to go sledding.
Usually only married couples and their children stand together anyway.
Despite the lockdown, many visitors were “abnormal”
In order to be prepared for the worst, the snow cannons run at night temperatures below minus five degrees.
Wohlmuth secretly hopes that the lift will start operating in mid-February: "It would be pretty heavy if they canceled the whole ski season."

Despite the huge number of visitors, there is no garbage problem, the lift owner assures: “I was outside at eight o'clock and only found a couple of coffee mugs.” The only annoying thing is that many visitors pee on the house walls due to the lack of toilets.
Despite the rush of visitors, the ski watch has a quiet time
Rolf Frasch from the Lenggrieser Skiwacht also reports that thousands of winter sports enthusiasts have been on the slopes in the past few days: "Above all, I've never seen so many ski tourers." But there are also many pedestrians and Zipfelbob riders on the road.
This is understandable.
“People can't go to Tyrol, so they go up here wherever a slope is covered with snow.” The many pedestrians have now trodden the slopes so that they resemble a groomed condition: “The slopes are just very hard.” Despite that The ski watch experiences a quiet time with the rush of visitors.
Quiet, that means that the rescuers had to move out once on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
On Sunday, a skier broke his lower leg on the family run in Wegscheid.
On Monday, a winter sports enthusiast suffered an upper arm fracture on the Milchhäusl lift.
On Tuesday, a sled driver slipped while going up and twisted her kneecap.
“In a normal ski season, we have three to seven comparable missions per day on Brauneck,” reports Frasch.
