The psychotherapist and music school teacher Elisabeth Ragl is outraged. The native of Steyr wanted to run cross-country skiing yesterday in Hinterstoder on her favorite trail from the Polsterlucke in the direction of Baumschlagerreith, but received the information on the phone that this was only possible with 2G proof. This is an unacceptable scandal, says the 51-year-old woman who has not been vaccinated against the coronavirus: “This is a massive violation of fundamental rights.” It is made impossible for her to move about in the great outdoors as usual. She has been cross-country skiing for years at the Flötzersteig in Hinterstoder, a public hiking trail, and is a good customer of the region. “The censorship is getting worse every day.”
The cross-country trails in the valley are groomed and maintained, so they are subject to a fee, says Pyhrn-Priel Tourism Director Marie-Louise Schnurpfeil, who confirmed an angry phone call from the lady: “It’s a sports facility, so the 2G rule currently applies. “
There have already been several calls regarding the regulations on the trail, the Hinterstoder information office says: “Most of them, including those who had not been vaccinated, reacted understandingly.”
