New open -air café on the suspension railway: enjoyment despite the risk of forest fire!

The latter raged in the Dresden Heide, one of the largest local recreation areas in the city, and had a large cloud of smoke moved across the city, reports the Sächsische.de reported.

forest fire risk: alarm level increases

But while the sisters run the café with a lot of passion, the city is faced with the alarming risk of forest fire. The persistent drought and the high temperatures have led to the city administration and the fire brigade to call for mindfulness. On Monday, the risk of forest fires in the Dresden Heide was classified as "high", with a deployment of over 110 firefighters, to contain the floor and topping fire. Residents were asked to keep windows and doors closed. The fire site was not completely deleted until late in the evening, which is why the fire brigade also built a fire guard overnight.
according to Meidresden.de is recommended to avoid the forest areas in question, and there is a ban on the water withdrawal and lakes in the Region.

enjoyment and responsibility combined

While the concerns about forest fires increase, the open -air café focuses on pleasure. Kara and Awina are planning to introduce new offers such as mulled wine and hearty soups in winter. The prices for your products are deliberately made family -friendly: a piece of cake only costs 3.80 euros and the homemade lemonade 5.80 euros. The concept is like a striker, not least because of the approximately 90% tourists who visit the suspension railway and the associated café.

It remains to be seen how the forest fire will influence the region in the long term and whether the sisters can continue to establish themselves as a heart in this picturesque corner of Dresden despite the challenges.
