Grilling in the forest: These rules are important for those looking for relaxation!
Strict rules apply in Baden-Württemberg when it comes to spending your free time in the forest, especially when barbecuing. These regulations are intended not only to protect nature, but also to respect those seeking recreation and the animals in the forest. A central concern is to prevent forest fires and protect wildlife. How ZVW reports, protecting the ecosystem is particularly important.
The state government has clearly stated that unauthorized grilling in the forest is prohibited. Fires may only be lit at official barbecue areas. Minister Peter Hauk emphasizes the urgency of observing these regulations, especially during the breeding and breeding season of forest animals. Compliance with these regulations is crucial to ensure a carefree experience in nature.
Special regulations for grilling
There is a general smoking ban in Baden-Württemberg forests from March to October. This is also clearly addressed in the warnings for forest visitors. Baden-Württemberg explains that open fires must be lit at least 100 meters from the edge of the forest. Unattended barbecue fires can have devastating consequences, which is why they must always be kept under control and completely extinguished before leaving the area.
Bärbel from Winnenden also brings up another important point: Encounters with wild boars should be avoided as they should not be disturbed in their habitat. The volume in the forest should also be turned down so that the animals are not put under unnecessary strain. Respectful treatment of nature is a central concern.
Behavior in an emergency
If a fire does occur, forest visitors are urged to remain calm and call the emergency number 112. It is important to provide accurate information about the fire location, the extent of the fire and the number of people or facilities affected. For faster help, we recommend using the “Help in the Forest” app to find the nearest rescue meeting point.
Healthy forest management is not only necessary to protect nature, but also to accommodate up to two million forest visitors every year Baden-Württemberg highlights. Therefore, dogs should always be kept on a leash and waste should be disposed of properly. This means that all nature lovers can enjoy the beauty of the forest without endangering the animal inhabitants and nature.
