Grilling in the Harz: The top places and important rules for summer friends!

When the sun is shining and the temperatures rise, it is time again: summer time is grilling! In this warmth we are drawn outside to enjoy the sociable sitting outdoors with friends and family. Grilling has a long tradition that goes back to the old stone time. But while many 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 punishments vary depending on the municipality, and in Cologne, for example, a warfare of 25 euros is due if you do not stick to the regulations. It is important to consider the signs, because grilling is often completely prohibited in nature reserves and protected areas. This can not only be expensive, but also endanger beautiful nature.
