WATCH OUT! Tegeler and Spandauer Forests ain't safe for weeks yet
Forests of Tegel and Spandau remain shut for several weeks - Forests of Tegel and Spandau Remain Shut for Over Three Weeks
Hey there, pal! So, Berlin's northwest is looking a bit grim after those wild storms. The Tegeler and Spandauer Forests are still closed for biz for a good while, according to a Berlin Forests spokesperson. They're talkin' weeks here! Cleanupcrews are focusin' on roads and residential areas first, as even some forest paths are barely passable due to fallen branches.
The spokesperson's warnin' you not to set foot in the forests. He says it's hazardous as hell, with things still fallin', and branches breakin' off like crazy! After all that mess, they gotta clear away fallen trees and branches before you can go back to walkin', ridin' bikes, or horseback ride, y'hear?
They're also advisin' against swimmin' in the Havel near the forest edge.
So, what happened? A new storm did a number on the Berlin forests. Man, those Tegeler Forest in the northwest took a beating, with thousands of trees knocked out, and significant damage reported in the Spandauer Forest too.
- Berlin
- Watch out! Danger ahead
- Storm of the century
P aid attention! The dangers lurkin' in those woods are no joke. Deadly fallen and unstable trees pose a significant risk of injury. Emergency services have already treated plenty of storm-related injuries, some real serious—like that poor pedestrian who got whacked by a falling tree in Heiligensee. It ain't a game out there, so stay clear!
As for the cleanup, they're workin' day and night to clear things up and get the city back in order. But with thousands of fallen trees and widespread destruction, it's gonna take some time. Plus, they had to shut down the S-Bahn service in some spots because of trees fallin' on the tracks. It ain't easy, but they're doing their best!
