Barbecuing in the Rems-Murr district: Five perfect places for summer adventures

Barbecuing in the Rems-Murr district: Five perfect places for summer adventures

When the sun shines and the temperatures rise, people in the Rems-Murr district head outside to grill. But in these hot days, caution is advised. The current heat waves and the associated drought significantly increase the risk of forest fires. Ulrich Häumermann, the deputy head of the Rems-Murr district forestry office, points out that a flying spark and a gust of wind can be enough to start a fire in nature. The Forestry Office therefore recommends closing public barbecue areas and only enjoying barbecue fun in suitable places where the appropriate safety precautions have been taken.

In this context, it is important to use the permanently set up barbecue areas in the district. These are not only safe, but also offer numerous leisure opportunities for young and old. The carefully selected locations combine grilling with various activities and invite you to linger. According to the Stuttgarter Nachrichten, there are five particularly recommended places for grilling in the Rems-Murr district.

Important rules of conduct when grilling

The use of official barbecue areas is not only advisable, but also necessary. For example, there is a general ban on smoking in the forest from March 1st to October 31st, and grilling may only take place in designated areas. Peter Hauk, the Forestry Minister, emphasizes the need for these rules to prevent fire from spreading to adjacent areas. The use of barbecue equipment in the forest is also prohibited. An open fire must be at least 100 meters from the edge of the forest.

Guests should also ensure that the fire is always supervised and that it is completely extinguished after grilling. In the event of a fire, reporting to the fire department quickly is crucial. For this purpose, precise location information, the type of material burning and the callback number are very important.

These places are ideal for grilling with friends and family, but everyone should respect the space and the risks in order to protect nature. Let's use the great barbecue facilities in the Rems-Murr district together and pay attention to safety!
