Potsdam / Cottbus (dpa / bb) - Early spring-like temperatures lured numerous Brandenburgers outside on Saturday.

After frosty days, many people in Potsdam's city center enjoyed the sun's rays at up to 14 degrees.

Not all wore a mouth and nose protection as prescribed, as a dpa reporter reported.

The weekly market at Nauener Tor was therefore as full as it was before the Corona period.

There were also numerous strollers in the Fürst-Pückler-Park Branitz in Cottbus and in the city center of Frankfurt (Oder).

The Schorfheide Wildlife Park (Barnim) welcomed numerous visitors.

"One visitor told me that she was happy to finally be able to pay admission somewhere again," said spokeswoman Imke Heyter.

The employees of the park were quickly taken out of short-time work after Brandenburg's decision to open Zoss and Tierpark on Monday.

Heyter emphasized that all visitors who are themselves on short-time work only have to pay the reduced admission.

You can currently see lynx, wolves, bison, elk and otters in the wildlife park.

A mouth and nose protection must be worn in the park, said Heyter.

"We can be happy that we are allowed to be open at all."

According to a dpa survey, ice cream parlors are currently preparing for out-of-home sales, including in Beeskow (Oder-Spree) and in Zerpenschleuse (Barnim).

Most of the ice cream sales outlets are still closed, including in Neuruppin and Potsdam.

At the goat farm in Zollbrücke (Märkisch-Oderland) in the Oderbruch, however, goat ice cream is already being sold outside the home.

Numerous day-trippers have currently traveled to the Oder, because they are offered a rare spectacle, reported farm owner Michael Rubin.

In moderately warm temperatures, the Oder is currently still carrying drift ice after permafrost.

According to the State Office for the Environment (LfU), German and Polish icebreakers are in action.

The ice has already broken up behind Schwedt.
