Winterberg (dpa / lnw) - According to the police, Winterberg, which is wrapped in snowflakes, experienced an onslaught of visitors with traffic jams and a number of traffic accidents.
A police spokesman for the Hochsauerlandkreis reported in the evening that there were an extremely large number of visitors and traffic obstructions.
"Lots of people and little experience in handling the white splendor on the road," he said.
There are still drivers who are not necessarily on the road with the right tires when it is snowing and freezing wet.
There have been a number of minor traffic accidents and also slightly injured people.
The WDR had reported that the city of Winterberg had asked all snow friends on their Facebook page in the afternoon not to travel to the area.
Long traffic jams formed and the parking lots were full.
The city wanted to discuss further measures with the police and road authorities on Monday.
Many people have already gone to Winterberg for a day trip over the past weekends.
