Garmisch-Partenkirchen (dpa / lby) - In contrast to the days around Christmas, excursions in Bavaria on New Year's Day were comparatively quiet.
The police headquarters of Upper Bavaria South, Swabian South / West and Lower Bavaria had received no reports of large gatherings of people or parked streets by the afternoon.
A spokeswoman for the Zugspitzbahn in Garmisch-Partenkirchen judged the number of passengers to be “very clear” despite the sunshine and the Four Hills Tournament, which was taking place on Friday.
The police had announced in advance that they would show more presence in popular excursion regions and control parking bans. In addition, day trippers were asked to reconsider trips to much-visited areas. In the lockdown, all ski areas in Bavaria are closed, but in the past few days many people have gone to the mountains with sleds and touring skis.
