It's a conflict that has been fermenting for a long time: day tourists versus locals.
Even before the corona pandemic, overtourism brought many places in the foothills of the Alps to the limit of pain.
Munich - It was a
stinky finger who
pointed
from Miesbach to Munich
* and heated people there.
At the beginning of January, a stranger had put up a sign at the entrance to Miesbach, on which the finger could be seen, above it a Munich license plate and the insult “
Fuck off!
"
Despite corona lockdown: pressure on popular destinations in Bavaria remains
Someone here had
obviously
lost
their nerve
in the
pandemic
, it was suddenly called
day tourists against locals
.
Then came the
15-kilometer rule with a high incidence
, plus general decrees that forbade excursions into polluted circles.

But in
the Miesbach district
, where popular destinations such as
Schliersee and Tegernsee
are located, the
ban
on
visitors could
already be a thing of the past this Monday.
So what?
The
German Alpine Association
(DAV) has thought about how the dispute could be defused.
Matthias Ballweg
, chairman of the Oberland section of the DAV, and
Günther Manstorfer
, chairman of the Munich section, say: “We are
very concerned about
pacifying this long-
fermenting conflict
.
Therefore, solutions are required that last beyond the
current tense situation
.
Here must
we all act together with good judgment
. "
6-point plan for mountain peace
Here is a
6-point plan
for
more understanding for each other
, for relieving the burden on the environment and managing the flow of visitors in the pandemic:
Contacts
: Mountain athletes should reduce these as much as possible.
Also on arrival.
Distance on the mountain: More than the required 1.5 meters.
Summit rest
: If too many people are in one place, go somewhere else.
Tour planning
: Mountaineers should avoid popular places at popular times.
Alternatives
: Also look for tours close to home.
Performance level
: Only undertake tours that are significantly below your own performance level.
This reduces the risk of accidents and relieves hospitals.
Mountaineering bus
: As soon as spring arrives and the conditions allow, the Oberland section wants to
deploy
a mountaineering bus from Munich to the
Ammergau Alps Nature Park
.
Tour starting points are approached that are difficult to reach by train.
One destination could be Ettal, for example.
Routes to the Allgäu and Chiemgau are planned.
DAV: Visiting bans don't solve the problem
Incidentally, the DAV does not see
bans on visits, such as in
the Miesbach district
or in
the Berchtesgadener Land district
, as a problem solution for the future.
Rather, the goal must be to find solutions with everyone involved.
The Berchtesgadener Land has been in corona lockdown * since October.
The numbers are not falling as hoped, but the district administrator still draws a positive conclusion.
In the meantime, the corona situation in Miesbach is relaxing, as
Merkur.de
* reports.
