An Austrian recently couldn't believe his eyes at the border to Germany: A man crossed under the motorway bridge because of the Corona block - with a bike.
Most motorists and truck drivers hardly notice that they are crossing the icy river on the Inntal motorway heading south at Ebbs.
In any case, they are then in Tyrol, today a corona mutation area.
Therefore, in the opposite direction, i.e. when entering Germany, half an administrative degree is advisable in order to comply with the formalities: a valid corona test, which must not be older than 48 hours, digital registration - and only people who Germans are or foreigners with residence and residence permit in Germany.
There are exceptions for truck drivers and cross-border commuters in systemically relevant professions.
Because of Corona: border crossing between Austria and Germany closed
Or else: You just bypass the whole thing, thanks to the Inn Bridge that connects Ebbs with Kiefersfelden.
Andreas Hochstaffl (60) from Kufstein witnessed a high-risk company on Friday afternoon.
He wanted to go to the Inn with a specialist in order to sound out the situation in the area as a passionate fisherman.

“We were overtaken by a man on the bike path in Ebbs.” Next, he saw a bike floating about two meters above the Inn, “I thought they stole it from someone and placed it there”.
But the wheel suddenly moved, the owner had pulled it up, "he came up there via a staircase".
Corona lock: Man crosses border illegally under motorway bridge
The man in work clothes then marched cheerfully on the bridge structure in the direction of Bavaria, sometimes he carried his bike, sometimes he pushed it.
Hochstaffl: “I just hoped he wouldn't trip.
If he falls for it, I can't imagine what would have happened. "
A video of this has now surfaced.
If he had been caught in Bavaria, the cyclist could face a fine under the Infection Protection Act after identification of his or her identity.
The competent Rosenheim District Office would determine the amount.
Man films action: "It's amazing."
He would not have to expect criminal proceedings for illegal entry.
“We don't have a fixed border crossing point,” explains Rainer Scharf from the Federal Police in Rosenheim.
Filmer Hochstaffl draws his conclusion from the observation: “It's amazing.
There are clear rules that don't put your life in danger just because you go to work. "
The German border closings are causing open anger in Austria.
The Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder is now also being weathered.
He is concerned with protection against the corona mutations that are spreading in Austria.
