After the storm: environmental authority warns against entering the woods

After the rollercoaster ride that was Storm "Zoltan", Hamburg residents should tread lightly when exploring the city's forests and parks. The environmental authority has issued a stark warning: branches and trees could still be on the move, posing a potential risk. They urge caution, advising that entering these woodland areas is a personal decision you make at your own peril.

The storm's rampage subsided on Friday, leaving Hamburg breathing a collective sigh of relief. The storm surge peaked midday, reaching an impressive 3.33 meters at the St. Pauli gauge. Despite the storm's remnants rolling out of town, the environmental authority is not taking any chances.

Remember, safety should always be your priority while exploring nature. It's essential to be aware of your surroundings and watch out for any signs of potentially hazardous trees or branches. If you notice any danger signs, it might be best to steer clear of the area until it has been deemed safe by the authorities.

As a responsible and safety-conscious citizen, follow the guidance provided by local authorities. They are the ones most familiar with the conditions in your area, and their advice should not be ignored. You can also check local news sources or official announcements from Hamburg's authorities or park management for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

Stay safe, Hamburg! Whether storms or sunshine, it's better to err on the side of caution when venturing into the woods.
