“Too vague” and “not well thought out”: These comments fell in the Jachenau municipal council on the attempt to introduce a cross-municipal annual parking permit in the southern district.
Jachenau
- In order to counter the recurring rush of excursionists and the associated park chaos, several municipalities in the region are relying on new parking fees.
Recently, on the initiative of the SPD in the local council, Lenggries launched the initiative for a cross-community annual parking permit from which locals in particular should benefit.
In the Jachenau municipal council, however, the request was met with skepticism.
Mayor suspects that the annual parking permit is used most at Walchensee
The community of Lenggries is currently asking the neighbors whether there is a fundamental interest in participating.
The debate on this in the Jachenau municipal council was summed up by Mayor Klaus Rauchberger in the most recent meeting: "We will answer that we cannot say anything about it because we lack facts."
Under no circumstances should it come out that in the end the municipality of Jachenau bears the lion's share of the costs.
Because in the end, so the town hall chief speculated, there will be the greatest demand to use the annual parking permit on the Walchensee south bank.
He feared an imbalance if Jachenau offered 1000 parking spaces there, but another participating municipality might only offer 100 at their excursion parking lot.
When it comes to parking for free at Walchensee, everyone would soon see themselves as 'local'.

In addition, for Rauchberger the question arises: “What is all defined as rural district south?” Experience shows: “When it comes to parking for free at Walchensee, everyone would soon see themselves as 'local'. But the fuel to drive from Tölz or Lenggries to Walchensee is not too much for people. "
On the other hand, municipal councilor Georg Riesch junior showed sympathy for the advance from Lenggries.
“I don't think the basic idea is bad,” he said.
In conversations, it is often heard that locals who would like to swim at the lake for an hour or two after work do not see the need to pay 5 euros parking fee - in addition to the toll.
“As a Jachenauer, we would also have the advantage of being able to park at Brauneck, Sunntratn or Blomberg.” Rauchberger objected that it was not yet clear who and whether, for example, private mountain railway operators would also participate.
Parking machines at Walchensee have not been in place for four weeks - you don't want exceptions right away
For councilor Klaus Stock, the discussion comes too early.
“We haven't had our machines for a month now.
And we wanted to go through with it for a year first and see how it goes so that we have facts and figures. ”Josef Orterer also emphasized:“ We are only at the beginning. ”In the coming years, if necessary,“ one or the other readjust another set screw ”, and for the future he did not want to“ completely rule out an annual vignette ”.
But he was reluctant to introduce exceptions from the start.
Second Mayor Josef Danner also feared that the bureaucratic handling of the annual parking permit could become “pretty complicated”.
And for Eugenie Grünwald the concept was “too vague”.
This is exactly how smoking Berger saw it: “The whole thing has not been thought out.” A final statement is therefore not possible.
There were also discussions this week about the new parking fees at Walchensee, because restaurateurs criticized the fact that this caused guests to stay away.
