Grilling in the Harz: The top places and important rules for summer fans!
When the sun shines and the temperatures rise, it's that time again: summertime is grilling time! In this warmth, we are drawn outside to enjoy socializing outdoors with friends and family. Grilling has a long tradition that goes back to the Paleolithic era. But while many people are happy about the most beautiful places in the region, the rules for grilling should not be lost sight of.
In many parks and meadows, wild grilling is often not allowed. The penalties for this vary depending on the municipality, and in Cologne, for example, a fine of 25 euros is due if you do not adhere to the regulations. It is important to heed the signs because grilling is often completely prohibited in nature reserves and protected areas. Not only can this be expensive, but it can also endanger the beautiful nature.

Grilling outdoors can be a wonderful experience if you follow the rules and keep safety in mind. The Federal Environment Agency is already warning of an increasing risk of forest fires in Germany, as increased temperatures and declining precipitation lead to an increased risk. Human activity is often the main cause of forest fires in temperate latitudes. Therefore, each of us has a great responsibility to ensure that our forests remain protected.
Let's not forget that grilling is not only a leisurely pastime, but also comes with responsibility. Let's pay attention to the beauty of nature and take each other into consideration when grilling! A barbecue area in nature should always be a place of consideration and respectful togetherness.
