As good as the rejuvenation of the tree population on the Schwazenberg may be, there is still a problem: The burden on nature is constantly increasing.
Miesbach - The forest is increasingly used as a leisure and recreation area.
Hikers who boot across country.
Mountain bikers riding illegal trails.
This is a bad development for forest owners.
It is no better in winter.
As soon as there was ten to 15 centimeters of snow, the first ski tourers came over from the neighboring district of Rosenheim.
Night tours are particularly problematic.
“That worries and drives the game away,” says Greinsberger.
“Especially at dusk”, adds the hunting tenant Carmen Mensler.

In addition, there is the enormously increased safety risk for the hunters, as Greinsberger explains: "It has become difficult when you are on the hunt and suddenly people show up." And outside of the hunt there is also the risk of accidents, which can never be ruled out in the forest, especially when cycling is an increased risk for landowners.
"With complicity, it's easy to do it."

Not far from the Tregler Alm, Mensler and Greinsberger refer to an illegal trail.
“It's been around for a long time,” says the hunting tenant, “but in the past only a few locals drove there.
And back then it was by far not as wide as it is today. ”The damage can also be seen by laypeople, as Greinsberger notes:“ The roots are exposed and the spruce trees are at risk of developing red rot. ”In addition, the rainwater remains for longer - the way is muddy.
What doesn’t stop mountain bikers from riding, as the tracks in the ground show.
In Miesbach it is getting tighter - "We can't get people out of the forest"
Gerhard Waas also complains about the development.
The AELF district manager also knows: “We can't get people out of the forest.
That is why it would be good if there were two or three legal trails - and a heavy fine for anyone who drives illegally elsewhere. ”In his view, it would only be possible to steer the flow with legal trails.
If Mensler has his way, a few, but clear, rules are enough: “You should stay on the paths, keep the dogs on a leash and let the forest rest at dusk and at night.
You don't want to spoil anything for anyone, but we just have to work side by side. ”Because the nightly activity in the forest prevents effective hunting.
