Winterberg (dpa / lnw) - After some chaotic conditions in the winter sports areas in the Eifel as well as the Sauerland and Bergisches Land at the turn of the year, the authorities are again expecting a rush this weekend.
Many day tourists are likely to return to the snow-covered areas around Winterberg in the Sauerland or Hellenthal in the Eifel.
In the corona pandemic, many slopes, ski lifts and toboggan runs are closed due to hygiene regulations.
The necessary infrastructure for day tourists such as parking spaces or toilets are also blocked.
The police of the Hochsauerlandkreis announced on Friday that they were again intensifying controls.
The officers are supported by hundreds of riot police and a cavalry squadron.
The German Weather Service (DWD) announced cold but cloudy winter weather for the weekend and warned of partly slippery roads.
