Despite the ban on excursions, corona lockdown and a 15-kilometer radius of movement, a number of day-trippers romped about again at Spitzingsee.
The police intervened several times.
Despite stricter lockdown rules, quite a few day trippers were out and about at Spitzingsee again at the weekend.
The federal police checked the parking lots.
Now many foreigners have to reckon with high fines.
Spitzingsee
- A BMW rolls over the snow crunching from the cold onto the parking lot at
Spitzingsee
.
Mark?
M ... "Another one," says the parking attendant with a smile and walks to the car.
“Five euros,” he
calls out to the driver.
A bargain, as dozens of day
trippers
from other districts
discovered
later
on this
deep winter
Saturday.
Because no sooner had they got out than they were asked to pay a second time - by the federal police.
500 euros fine.
Per person, not per vehicle.
"There were some with 2000 euros," says the park attendant, almost a little incredulous.
"But my, it was actually clear to everyone that there are controls."
Corona rush at Spitzingsee: Not only locals on site
Apparently not, as shown on a tour on Saturday afternoon.
30 centimeters of
powder snow
, tearing clouds that pull.
Even in
lockdown
.
Well, compared to the Christmas holidays, the rush is downright measly.
All access roads are free, most of the parking spaces are empty.
And yet a few groups cavort on the frozen lake.
You shovel the
fresh snow
off the ice so you can turn around a bit with your skates.
Anyone who believes that it is only locals because of the 15 kilometer radius rule including the ban on day-trippers from other districts is greatly mistaken.
Excursions to the Spitzingsee surprised: "The incidence here is less than 200?"
“We are from Bad Aibling,” says a father who
plays
ice hockey
with his two sons
.
The three men are surprised that they are actually not allowed to be here.
"The
Corona incidence
at home is below 200," says the father.
He
heard of
the general decree of
the Miesbach district
for the first time.
It's the same for a Munich couple.
Even the news that the federal police are on their way doesn't seem to bother them.
The
inspectors wo
n't
be on the ice

In fact, it is the day trippers themselves who
are traveling
on
thin ice
.
The officials are not interested in whether they knowingly or not, reports the park attendant.
“They don't negotiate.” He himself supports the controls, he emphasizes.
At least since he experienced what was on Friday at
Spitzingsee
.
“We didn't collect any parking fees because it was unclear whether we would be complicit in letting outsiders drive in,” says the
cashier.
Despite strict Corona requirements: Chaos at Spitzingsee again on Friday
He himself used the day off for a
ski tour
.
His hope of finally having more peace and quiet was suddenly dashed.
"All hell broke loose again." Despite the
corona lockdown,
despite the
15 kilometer limit
.
When he reported this to his boss, she informed the district office.
With the result that parking fees were charged again at the weekend - and
fines on
top of that.

This also applies to Christoph Simon - at least indirectly.
Sales at his snow bar are slow.
And not only because he is not allowed to serve mulled wine
(“Thanks, Söder”).
"We notice it brutally when the people of Munich stop coming," says Simon.
Nobody has to stand in line for this if they want to take away Viennese and punch.

In any case, the locals enjoy the peace and quiet.
Vinzenz Wehrmann from Miesbach and Quirin Wimmer from Neuhaus met to play ice hockey.
They
avoided
the
Spitzingsee
in the weeks before the
ban on excursions
.
Even mutual visits were difficult, reports Wehrmann.
"We would only have been stuck in a traffic jam."

Sophia Bichler from Miesbach and Isabell Günther from Hausham experienced similar things.
“With the chaos, you have already thought about when to go shopping,” says Bichler.
The stricter
lockdown rules
are almost relaxing in this regard.
However
, the young women cannot understand
the
hatred that
recently hit motorists with
Munich license plates
.
“I know a lot of house owners who drive company cars,” says Günther.

The
Federal Police,
on the other hand, are more interested in what is written on the identity card.
And whether there is a valid reason for the trip to the Spitzingsee.
The
Munich BMW driver
mentioned at the beginning of the text
had one, as the parking attendant was supposed to find out in conversation.
“This is a journalist from the Bild newspaper.” In fact, the man trudges
towards the lake
with a huge camera lens
.
Maybe to document the unfamiliar calm after the last few weeks.
