The Hochtaunuskreis advised against trips to the Großer Feldberg before the turn of the year.
The parking lots are already overcrowded in the morning, so that closures around the summit have to be expected, announced the first district councilor Thorsten Schorr on Wednesday in Bad Homburg.
The plateau itself is also closed to private traffic at the turn of the year, and access to the summit is only possible by public transport.
He could understand the desire of many people for an excursion in the snow.
Nevertheless, he appealed to the people in the Rhine-Main area to forego a trip to the highest mountain in the Taunus.
After all, there are other attractive destinations in the Taunus in addition to the 881 meter high Großer Feldberg.
There was also a lot going on in other regions over the holidays.
In the Black Forest and the Swabian Alb, for example, day-trippers caused chaotic conditions on roads and parking lots in some places.
In addition, the police registered umpteen violations of regulations on minimum distances.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Health in Stuttgart appealed “to people to forego day trips and not to exhaust the existing rules”.

The city wrote on its website that tobogganing on the closed lifts is not allowed, "even if many do it".
