Berlin (dpa) - With closings, bans and increased controls, renewed chaos in German winter sports areas and at excursion destinations should be prevented.
Nevertheless, many municipalities are expecting a crowd again.
Increased controls by the police and regulatory agencies were announced.
Politicians and municipalities had once again urged citizens to refrain from day trips.
In Winterberg in North Rhine-Westphalia, for example, according to a spokeswoman, a hundred and a squadron of riders will ensure that the corona hygiene rules are adhered to and road blocks are observed.
Disregarding entry bans may result in fines.
Ski lifts, toboggan slopes and parking spaces have now been closed by numerous winter sports communities.
Many places have also closed access roads.
