Winterberg (dpa) - Despite the tightened corona lockdown and a ban on entering the ski and toboggan runs, the Mayor of Winterberg Michael Beckmann (CDU) is expecting many visitors on the weekend.
One is preparing for a larger volume, said Beckmann on Wednesday at the request of the German press agency.
There will be another major deployment of the public order office, security service and the police.
For Beckmann, it is difficult to understand that day-trippers would continue to come to the Sauerland: “In the meantime, it is even a bit incomprehensible to me that for a few weeks now, despite the pictures of the last few days, people have not taken our appeal to" stay at home "seriously. »
Because of the onslaught of many snow tourists, the city has closed winter sports areas and adjacent parking lots and access roads.
The last time there were long traffic jams on Sunday.
The authorities recorded hundreds of violations of the requirements.
The onslaught had subsided since Monday.

According to Beckmann, the onset of winter in the cities in North Rhine-Westphalia, from which most of the visitors come, could bring relief next weekend.
He hopes that "the snow will fall down to the deeper levels so that the pressure on the high-lying snow areas will be significantly reduced".
The mayor is skeptical of the plans planned by the federal and state governments to restrict the radius of movement in corona hotspots.
It is not foreseeable whether the number of day trippers will decrease due to this regulation.
According to the Robert Koch Institute, on Wednesday no district or municipality from North Rhine-Westphalia was above the intended threshold of more than 200 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants within the past seven days.
