Day trippers in Bavaria: The number of visitors has returned to normal – Bavaria

The black grouse is a good example, the animals are sensitive to disturbances. Henning Werth and his team from the Alpinium want to know exactly: At what times of the day are visitors in the habitats, what is it like during the mating season? The graduate biologist and deputy head of the Center for Nature Experiences in the Allgäu describes the task of keeping an eye on the influx of visitors in ecologically important areas as “model protection area management” – and intervening if necessary. The Alpinium has therefore installed 35 measuring points in the Allgäu Alps. It has now turned out that the number of visitors has returned to normal compared to the Corona years 2020 and 2021. The situation has also eased in Upper Bavaria and in the Bavarian Forest.
