At least the Alpine Club would have liked to get serious about the route rehabilitation. When repairing the paths on the Jochberg above Kochel am See, he would have relied on as many hikers as possible to carry gravel up the mountain. But he prefers not to rely on Deutsche Bahn. So the DAV canceled the day of action planned for September 17 “because travel by public transport cannot be guaranteed due to ongoing construction work on the railway line”. The DB had announced shortly before that it would be going through to Kochel again from September 13th. Because with the end of the summer holidays, the general standstill on the rails, which prevailed in the entire Werdenfels network after the fatal train accident near Burgrain at the beginning of June, should also end. But the region will have to live with route closures for years to come.
