A weekend on the Gaisberg: driving ban and shuttle service for day trippers

The Gaisberg in Salzburg is once again presenting itself as a popular destination at the weekend, but access will only be possible until the cistle. This is a consequence of the exploitation of the contingent for the car -free days, which was determined by the city administration. In recent years, visitor interest has increased significantly, which also underlines the decision for a temporary restriction.

For today's and tomorrow, November 16 and 17, bright weather and the ideal opportunity for a trip to the Gaisberg are announced. In order to meet the numerous visitors, the Gaisbergbus, line 151, is used on Mirabellplatz and drives every 22 minutes. This offer is extremely popular with the excursion.

tiring discussion about car -free days

Gaisberg coordinator and Vice Mayor Florian Kreibich from the ÖVP commented on the Situation and explained that the contingent of ten car -free days this year was now exhausted. "The Gaisbergbus has been enjoying enormous popularity since its introduction, which has been proven by more than 200 percent by an impressive increase in passenger numbers over the past ten years," said Kreibich. In the past weekends, more than 1000 visitors have repeatedly used the bus, which makes the need for such measures clear.

For the period between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., a driving ban also applies on both days from the Zistelalm to the Gaisbergspitz. This regulation is monitored by guard services to ensure proper compliance. However, the city plans to think about reducing the contingent in the long term in order to be able to better manage the enormous number of visitors on weekends. In view of the positive feedback from passengers, Kreibich is trying to increase the contingent. As www.s.at , the development remains exciting in this area.
