, The number of visitors to the Region has reached on Friday a new dimension. A normal daily routine for the Locals is due to the high volume of traffic is hardly possible.
Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen – It’s actually even worse: The sheet metal avalanche, which rolled on Friday in the Kochel – and walchensee region and back again, put everything in the shade. “This is something I have never experienced,” said Kochels mayor Thomas wood (CSU), with a view to the influx of visitors and the resultant traffic chaos. “All the dams are broken.”
What began around Bad Tölz, was in the direction of Kochel – and Walchensee not better. From morning until the early afternoon, the traffic also was backed up about to Kochel at the lake – coming from the North from the commercial area of Pessenbach, coming from the West up over Schlehdorf. These jams have tried numerous drivers, to handle the dirt roads and side streets in residential areas. The police have been able to prevent this behavior, according to the wood but at least partially. “Since neither children nor elderly residents expected with through traffic, it was sometimes really dangerous.”
Each of the noodles blocked
The Parking situation turned out to be the onslaught, according to messy. “Every free rag blocked, regardless of losses,” said wood. The Ötzgasse in the District of the place had been, for example, where close to a Hiking trail starts on the Raven’s head, completely supplied. Residents were pots, trash cans and flowers to the outside, so that at least the roads remained to their houses free. According to wood’s conception many take a ticket in the purchase: “If one is already so long in a traffic jam, then the few euros are damn well already.”

The Walchensee was the rush also “brutal,” said Alois green forest of the water rescue. “The vehicles were at all corners and Ends, and crowds of people were on the road.” To do a lot of it was not for the water rescue fortunately, nevertheless. Such as wood-also green forest stresses that day-trippers are welcome. It could not but be that the leisure-seekers in a legal vacuum mentioned and parked where you want. “Everyone should keep to the rules,” say wood and green forest in unison.
Only in the Jachenau in the great Chaos was. Thanks to the Vice-mayor Josef Danner but alone the fact that Austria and the Valley are open again. “As a result, the cars drop off determined in 2000,” says Danner. But even without it, the valley of the sun was Danner found to be very full: The temporary Parking in spawning was filled with 300 cars again completely.

The Tölzer, and the Kochler police got on Friday and again support by the riot police. “The state-but only once in a traffic jam,” says Andreas Rohrhofer, Deputy police chief of Bad Tölz. Its officials were on Friday in the Kochel – and walchensee region, languages Rohrhofer, according to also of unprecedented dimensions. Not to said it from the point of view of the police but. For Rohrhofer counted on Friday evening, 88 Parking violations in the Kochel – and walchensee area, as well as the Jachenau and Lenggries.
in the face of facts like these, for wood: “Our capacity limits are exceeded. We are on the verge of collapse.“ One can only speak of luck that nothing major had happened. In the case of emergency, the rescue force would come because of the parked rescue routes hardly. “Here is a body and a life is clearly in danger.”
mayor wood: “Will act decisively”
the Situation was except for the local residents unbearable, a normal daily routine is not possible. “Who wanted to go shopping on Friday in Kochel, was a losing battle.” The season had not even begun. “If it goes on like this, we will suffocate in the summer in traffic,” said wood, and promised: “As the public Appeals have unfortunately not provided the desired success, we will not longer stand by and watch, but act decisively.” What measures he means exactly, is not revealed to the politicians. He wanted to discuss with the competent bodies.
