Suhl (dpa/th) - In view of the spring-like temperatures, the last previously open ski lift in the Thuringian Forest has now capitulated. In the Silbersattel ski arena in Steinach, whose slopes are also covered with artificial snow, winter sports are no longer possible for the time being, the Thuringian Forest regional association announced on Sunday. For pedestrians, however, the lift is also open until late afternoon on New Year's Day.
The tobogganing possibilities are also extremely limited. On Sunday this was only possible in the winter world of Schmiedefeld. Cross-country skiers can only let off steam in the ski hall in Oberhof on artificial snow. Ice skating is possible in the Ilmenau, Sonneberg and Waltershausen ice rinks.
