Schierke/Leipzig (dpa/sa) - A number of day-trippers made their way to the Harz mountains on Sunday. Whether on foot or with the Brockenbahn of the Harzer Schmalspurbahnen, it went up to the 1141 meter high mountain. The storm on Saturday only took a short break on Sunday, said a spokesman for the German Weather Service (DWD) in Leipzig. Monday, on the other hand, will be a very windy day.
During the Shrove Monday parades, it is important for the fools to hold on tight to their headgear. Because stormy gusts with speeds of up to 70 kilometers per hour are to be expected across the country. Hurricane gusts of around 120 kilometers per hour are expected again for the Brocken. The temperatures in the country are between 6 and 13 degrees during the day.
