Munich Airport's Flights Back Up and Running, but Rail Traffic Still a Mess
Sunday morning saw the resumption of flight operations at Munich Airport after a temporary suspension on Saturday. The company announced the news on their website. However, traveling to Munach's main train station in Bavaria's capital remains challenging due to ongoing traffic disruptions.
DB, the rail operator, informs us of the continuation of massive restrictions in rail traffic in southern Germany till Monday. Traffic at Munich's main train station remained at a standstill on Sunday morning, with the closure projected to last until 10.00 am.
Heavy snowfall on Saturday had a significant impact on roads in southern Bavaria, but the situation improved considerably by Sunday night. Minor accidents were only reported, with police attributing them to typical winter weather conditions. The spokesperson for Upper Bavaria South Police Headquarters confirmed this.
Bavaria was not the only region affected by the winter weather. Weather-related problems were also reported in some northern German areas. For instance, an accident in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania left a car stranded against a tree, resulting in injuries to the vehicle's occupants.
Snowfall isn't predicted in large parts of Bavaria on Sunday. However, a few centimeters of fresh snow is expected in the eastern low mountain ranges and the Alps. Temperatures are predicted to plummet, reaching minus 6 to minus 9 degrees in some areas south of the Danube. It will remain chilly until next week, with sporadic snowfall expected.
Southern Germany and other parts of Germany are expected to experience similar conditions in the coming days. Lower Saxony, along the Ore Mountains and Harz Mountains, will experience occasional snowfall on Sunday, changing to rain by Monday. Berlin and southern Bavaria are expected to remain dry.
Enrichment Insights:
While Munich Airport may not be directly impacted by the Berlin Hauptbahnhof disruptions, smaller airports like Innsbruck in mountainous regions do face such challenges. Munich often serves as an overflow location for Innsbruck, handling diverted flights via bus transfers. This arrangement helps manage passenger flow but highlights the operational challenges for smaller airports in challenging environments.
