Suhl (dpa/th) - Skiers should be particularly careful in the Thuringian Forest at the moment. There is a risk of ice breakage and fallen trees, said the Thuringian Forest regional association on Tuesday. Some of the trails have already been closed because of this, said spokeswoman Maja Reumüssel. Spruce crowns break off under the ice load.
In general, however, there were good winter sports conditions in the Thuringian Forest. More than 800 kilometers of cross-country trails are currently prepared. The snow reaches heights of up to 38 centimeters. 50 routes are open to winter hikers.
