The sunny weather at the weekend lured many people outside.
However, there were too many at the Walhalla near Regensburg.
The police had to intervene.
Donaustauf / Munich - Fantastic spring weather and the desire for life outside of their own four walls that had pent-up over the Corona * months attracted many people outside on the weekend.
Day trippers as far as the eye can see.
In some places, however, there were so many that even the police had to intervene.
Spring weekend in Bavaria: Police lock Walhalla
The Walhalla near Donaustauf is a popular destination for many people in the Regensburg * area.
The memorial, reminiscent of a Greek temple, was opened in 1842 and contains numerous marble busts and memorial plaques.
In addition, from the building you have an outstanding view of the meandering Danube.
That is why more than 250 day trippers were drawn to the hill in the Regensburg district at the same time on Saturday afternoon.
In times of Corona * clearly too much.
The police stepped in.
"The landmark was closed on Saturday afternoon and will remain so until Monday," said the police on Sunday.
The reason wasn't just the large number of people.
Many of them also did not adhere to the corona protective measures.
They kept their distance and many did not wear masks.
Despite the ban on visits, some day trippers bypassed the barriers on Sunday - and that in high fog instead of bright sunshine.
Spring weekend in Bavaria: Lots of traffic in the Free State
But there was not only a lot going on at the gates of Regensburg *.
Many day-trippers were also drawn to the Bavarian Forest.
There was a lot going on on Sunday at the parking lot for the Großer Arber.
"The parking lot is completely overcrowded, but not blocked," said the police.
The officials in the Upper Palatinate registered that more people than usual were on the move.
"But nowhere did anything get significantly out of hand." The police in the Allgäu and Upper Bavaria reported something similar.
In Lower Franconia, the situation even eased a little.
When there was still snow there, more people had been drawn to the mountains.
