Important tips for travelers

To avoid traffic jams, traffic experts recommend timely planning and flexible travel times. Wednesday morning or a quiet Friday are ideal times to arrive. Alternative routes and regular breaks should also be planned. Travelers who want to use public transport must also expect high utilization of trains and long-distance buses.

In addition, attention is drawn to the ecological aspects of gridlocked traffic: it not only increases fuel consumption, but also emissions. In addition, longer waiting times are possible at border crossings such as Suben (A3), Walserberg (A8) and Kiefersfelden (A93), especially for travelers returning from neighboring countries, where Corpus Christi is also a public holiday.

With these tips and proper planning, travelers can better overcome the challenges of the coming days and still remain excited about arriving at their destination.
