The crown numbers in the Miesbach district are higher than ever. But daytime tourism is excessive, as district manager Olaf von Löwis points out. He texted Prime Minister Markus Söder and Speaker of the state parliament Ilse Aigner for help: “Daytime tourism is getting out of control here,” he wrote literally, the district administrator announced today. “It really burns.”
Autocollons on the Spitzingsee lake
For example, on the Spitzingsee or Schliersee. District manager von Löwis was appalled by the images of the caravans and crowded parking lots over the weekend.
“I understand that everyone wants to go out into nature when the weather is nice,” said von Löwis. “But we are in the middle of a global pandemic! So you just have to walk from your front door for a while and you can’t drive into the country.”
A 32-year-old from Tegernsee, who was in the Spitzingsee for the weekend, told BR about the onslaught of hikers: “What happened on Sunday was more than good and bad.” The parking lot was already full at 10 am and the cars were on the driveway. “He didn’t come and go.” The 32-year-old said there were not only hikers from Munich, but also many from the region.
Accidents: don’t overload emergency rooms
District administrator von Löwis said that the police in the Miesbach district were on edge and that hospital staff were also concerned. The clinic is already full of corona patients. If someone is injured while walking, hiking or sledding in the Miesbach district, there is a high probability that they will be taken to the Agatharied district hospital.
This is the district manager’s clear appeal to all hikers: “Stay home! Be accountable to the Alpine chain districts and their residents!”
District Administrator: High Crown Numbers Due to Clusters
Olaf von Löwis expects the support of the state government. Appeals should now also be backed by rules on exit restrictions. The president of the Landtag, Ilse Aigner, has already assured the Miesbach district administrator by phone that the issue will be discussed at the government level.
According to the district office, the high number of new infections in the Miesbach district can be traced back to some larger conglomerates. First, many people tested positive at a community asylum center in Warngau. Second, some families are responsible for the sharp increase. According to the district office, up to ten people are corona-positive in each of the four individual family associations.
Visitor fever also in the Bavarian Forest
The Bavarian Forest has also been “haunted” in recent days. Some visitors “crossed the national park,” complains the deputy director of the national park. The situation in the parking lots was “catastrophic” in many places. At the turn of the year, the national park intends to use more rangers and point out the rules of conduct to visitors.
In other parts of Bavaria it was more relaxed: Parking spaces on the Garmisch-Partenkirchen slopes were “definitely well-crowded,” said a spokeswoman for the Bavarian Zugspitzbahn. “But there were no traffic jams or parking chaos.” Other mountain train operators, for example in Allgäu, had completely blocked their parking spaces.
