Saalburg-Ebersdorf (dpa/th) - According to the police, the techno festival "SonneMondStars" at the Bleiloch reservoir has so far been peaceful. Since the arrival of the first music fans on Wednesday, a little more than 200 facts relevant to the police have become known, the police said on Saturday. The majority of these were minor drug offenses - small amounts of cannabis, cocaine, amphetamine and ecstasy were confiscated. The festival with around 40,000 fans has been running since Friday evening.
The most serious incident was the explosion of a gas bottle in a tent on one of the campsites even before the opening. The 26-year-old, who was seriously injured on Wednesday, was still in critical condition on Saturday, according to a police spokeswoman.
According to the information, the biggest problem child for the police is still fire protection with a persistently high fire risk. Open fire is forbidden, the adjacent forest may not be entered.
