In view of the high Corona numbers, winter sports enthusiasts and day trippers have to reckon with in some cases significant restrictions again in the Hessian low mountain ranges.
In the popular Willingen ski area, all slopes and the associated parking spaces are closed from Friday up to and including Sunday.
In the event of a possible rush of visitors, it would otherwise not be possible to monitor compliance with the hygiene and distance rules, the city justified the decision on Thursday.
In the Sauerland and Eifel, many ski and toboggan slopes, parking spaces and driveways are also closed on weekends.
Although the great traffic chaos in the Hochsauerland did not repeat itself last weekend, one is preparing for a larger operation, said a police spokeswoman for the Hochsauerland district on Thursday.

In the Eifel community of Hellenthal, the security services announced that they would continue to be present.
Several parking spaces are blocked.
