, 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."

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."
