Erfurt raises the alarm: Petersberg threatens to block fans because of garbage!

in Erfurt is currently being discussed hotly about the future of the Petersberg. The popular viewpoint could soon be blocked for onlookers.

Sustainable organization could therefore be an important step to solve environmental issues. Innovative mobility strategies are required here that facilitate journey and offer an environmentally friendly alternative.
