Suhl (dpa/th) - The conditions on the cross-country ski trails and ski trails in the Thuringian Forest are currently "rather bad" due to the mild temperatures. As the Thuringian Forest regional association announced on Friday, athletes would have to reckon with contamination from needles, stones in the trail and also interruptions. A new preparation is currently not possible.
According to the association, eight lifts are currently open, including in Oberhof, Masserberg and Steinach. For Oberhof, however, the regional association warned of major restrictions in the winter sports area until the end of the Biathlon World Cup. "We therefore recommend all active winter sports enthusiasts and tourists who do not want to go to the events to visit the alternative winter sports areas in the Thuringian Forest." The World Cup ends on Sunday.
