Barbecues at the lake and in public parks

Barbecue in the forest – beware of fire hazard!

During prolonged dry periods in the summer months, forests are often at risk of forest fires. Therefore, barbecues are often strictly prohibited . Barbecuing is permitted only in designated areas. Anyone who violates the applicable rules faces not only the possibility of forest fires but also hefty fines. Even at the edge of the forest, your barbecue must be at least 50–100 meters away.

Grilling at home – your balcony, your rules?

Do you think you're a true grill master at home? Almost right! When you grill in your own backyard, nothing stands in the way of your culinary delights.

Many residential complexes and federal states have strict rules that you'd better not break – otherwise, your barbecue will end in a bitter resentment. From April to September, many areas allow you to fire up a barbecue in residential complexes once a month. Familiarize yourself with the regulations and opt for a gas grill for minimal smoke. Ideal for peaceful gatherings and enjoyable moments on your balcony.
