NEUNKIRCHEN DISTRICT. No or insufficient distances and masses on the sled hills in Semmering led to chaos on December 25. More on this at this point. Improvements were made the next day, but now the district administration and the municipality are preventing a part
of sledding activities.
Winter sports tourists at the Panhans toboggan run didn’t much care for crown distances or wearing mouth and nose protection. The sledding hill at the Heldenfriedhof was also literally assaulted by slides and sleds. Reason enough for the Neunkirchen district administration to consider the possibility of imposing sanctions in cooperation with the state of Lower Austria and the municipality of Semmering. Semmering Mayor Hermann Doppelreiter (ÖVP) finally declared on the night of December 26 in response to a request from the district newspaper: “The sleigh meadow will be closed from tomorrow (December 27 – editor’s note) “.
It is still possible to ride a sled
Sledding is still possible in Semmering. Double tab: “The Semmering-Hirschenkogel Bergbahnen continues to offer its ski and sledding guests online reservations. All mountain rail guests who can show a valid ticket have a guaranteed parking space in one of the official car parks. Due al COVID- According to the regulation, the cable cars have reduced their maximum number of guests to more than half, tickets must be purchased online in advance Access to the ski areas and their parking spaces requires a valid ticket.
“This allocation concept works, but it assumes that ‘game parkers’ without a ticket do not create additional parking spaces on their own. On the other hand, we as a community must not allow any epidemiologically questionable situation, especially in our land. Guests with tickets are still welcome at Semmering. We ask people who have not received a ticket or a parking space at our location to return home. This is the only way to ensure that we do not overload local capacities. Because the safety of our residents, employees and guests must be our highest priority. “
The ticket quota for December 27, 2020 has already been sold out. “At the moment, no more tickets are being sold for this day. The changes will be displayed in our online store,” said Nazar Nydza, Managing Director of Semmering-Hirschenkogel Bergbahnen GmbH, quoted in a message from the Semmering municipality.
