Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - After the recent rush to the excursion areas in the southwest, the situation on Dreikönig initially remained calm.

"The measures are working, there are a lot of forces in action," said a spokesman for the Offenburg police headquarters on Wednesday afternoon.

The volume of traffic in the northern Black Forest is significantly lower.

There are traffic jams especially at the closures.

In the municipality of Dobel in the Calw district, the rush on Wednesday was initially low.

According to the police in Pforzheim, the parking spaces only gradually filled up in the morning until the entrance was blocked at noon.

Even on smaller toboggan slopes, the situation remained relaxed.

In the northern Black Forest there have recently been chaotic scenes in parking lots and traffic jams, for example because the winter excursionists had parked their cars on the roadside.

Many people were drawn to the Kandel near Freiburg on Wednesday.

There is considerable activity there, said a police spokesman.

However, there are no major complaints.

The access to Waldkirch's local mountain (Emmendingen district) should also be closed at lunchtime.

After the Christmas holidays and last weekend, numerous motorists flocked to the excursion areas in the Black Forest and the Swabian Alb.

Lots of people crowded toboggan slopes and winter hiking trails.

Appeals from politics and the police not to drive into overcrowded areas due to the corona pandemic have mostly faded away so far.
