The forest paths that were closed in the course of the forest fire in Tennenloher Forst have been reopened. This was announced today by the Erlangen-Höchstadt District Office. However, due to the renewed high risk of forest fires, the district office is urging people to enter the forest with particular caution and consideration. The ban on entering certain areas, which has been in place since April 1, 2014, remains in force.
