The Farcheter despair especially on sunny holidays.
Visitors to the fairytale forest park their driveways and leave rubbish behind.
It's enough for the residents.
Wolfratshausen - Susanne Grögor is now happy about bad weather.
Because when the sun is shining, chaos sets in on your doorstep in the morning, usually just before 9 a.m.
When several hundred visitors to the fairytale forest look for a parking space every day, the streets are full.
The problem has been known for years, and there is no solution in sight.
The residents don't know what to do next. When Grögor has a visitor, she reserves a parking space on the street early in the morning. Your neighbor on Stobäusstrasse, Petra Pathisch, regularly pushes her garbage cans in front of the garage. "If there is nothing there, my driveway will be parked up," says the farcheter. If she asks a wildlife parker that he is standing on her private property, “I have to let myself be insulted”. Diapers regularly end up on your property or park visitors' trash land in front of the garden fence. “We residents have to clean up,” says an annoyed Fabian Berger. The family man lives on Holzstraße - 600 meters and four crossings from the amusement park. "From the balcony I can watch hundreds of cars looking for parking spaces almost every day."observes neighbors who can no longer get out of their garage because day tourists block them.
The parking situation around the Wolfratshausen fairy tale forest is tense - especially on sunny holidays
The situation is particularly tense on sunny holidays. “Every meter is parked on both sides of the street,” sayspfadisch. Just like a few days ago. Then the city bus turned in their driveway because it could not be maneuvered through the narrow gap between the parking ends. Pathetic: "If even the city bus can't get through, the fire brigade or ambulance can't either." That worries some residents. Many elderly people live in the narrow streets of Farcheter. “It shouldn't get to the point where something has to happen before something changes.” There has already been one such case in Berger's neighborhood. “The ambulance had to maneuver for minutes,” he recalls. Fortunately, it was not an acute emergency. "Every second can count."
Grögor finds clear words: “We are in the middle of a traffic collapse.” What particularly annoys her: “All the communities in which there is a lot of excursion traffic defend themselves against it, only in Wolfratshausen the city doesn't seem to care how things go here.” Several times the two neighbors turned to the municipality.
“They don't take us seriously there,” sums up pathisch.
So nothing will change either.

Town hall: Park problem around Wolfratshausen fairy tale forest known
The problem is known in the town hall, asserts Hubert Bernwieser, head of the Citizens Service Department. Almost every day employees of the traffic control are out and about in Farchet. "We issue around 100 parking tickets per week - only in this part of the city." However, only traffic offenders who stop too close to bends, opposite the direction of travel or who are prohibited from stopping are given a ticket. "If someone stands at the side of the road, that is no reason to intervene," says Bernwieser. Even if he understands the frustration of the residents: "The traffic monitoring system cannot do anything about the parking problem."
The fairy tale forest operator wanted to create a solution himself a few years ago.
“We have worked out plans to build a parking deck,” says Daniel Diessl.
He would have financed 336 parking spaces on three floors in steel construction with a green facade in the stadium car park.
The plan was stopped in 2012 in the city council.
A preliminary inquiry was rejected after "wild discussions" (Diessl), and some Farcheters joined together to form a citizens' initiative against the building.
The project then came to nothing.

Märchenwald boss shows understanding for local residents
Diessl understands the frustration of the Farcheter: “The summer holidays are very difficult for the residents, I know that. Especially when there are also people who are outrageously out and about and really park everything. ”Another problem is the constant densification -“ instead of single-family houses there are now five-in-hand cars ”- this means there are more cars for residents. Basically, even if the disappointment about the failed construction project can still be heard, he is ready to talk. “You would have to sit down and look for solutions.” Diessl, however, points out: “There is actually no space in the district where something can be achieved. It's not easy."
Petra Wegisch and Susanne Grögor would like a relatively simple measure.
They demand a unilateral stopping ban on Stobäusstraße, so that at least the entrance is secured.
A signature campaign is planned.
It would be another attempt to somehow achieve at least a little improvement.
“We local residents are slowly becoming desperate,” complains Grögor.
"We can no longer."
Residents around Märchenwald Wolfratshausen demand a solution
It makes the park operators responsible: "If there are not enough parking spaces in front of the door, a large parking lot with a shuttle bus is needed outside." At the weekend, Märchenwald visitors can use the Eagle-Burgmann company parking lot, there are 330 spaces there according to Diessl. “But that's not signposted anywhere,” complains Berger. Visitors were not advised of this possibility either in front of the park itself or at a driveway to Farchet. There is only a small note on the homepage. Until last year, the park had employed young directors who gave arriving tourists directions to the Burgmann car park. "But I can't put them in the blazing sun at 30 degrees with an FFP2 mask - and then they still have to keep a distance," says Diessl.
Farcheter Berger explains the result: “People first drive to the fairytale forest and if they don't find anything there, they look for a parking space in the immediate vicinity.” While he adds that the situation is “a complete disaster”, he looks at the big one Parking lot at the Isar-Loisach-Stadion.
Only the disabled parking spaces are free.
Four cars turn their circles around the area - according to the license plate number, they are from Straubing, Dingolfing, Pforzheim and Lindau.
It is Tuesday, 12.30 p.m., cloudy and 14 degrees.
Sometimes even the weather doesn't help local residents.
