Depending on the weather and hiking conditions, road closures alongdistrict roads 1, 2 and 54 in the Oelber Valley between Lichtenberg (from the Burgberg parking lot) or Osterlinde (from the forester's lodge) and Oelber am weißen Wege are therefore expected as early as Sunday, February 22, between 7 pm and 6 am. If the mild weather continues, there may be further night-time closures.

The individual road closures themselves will be displayed at the entrances to Lichtenberg, Osterlinde and Oelber a.w.W. in good time.

In Lichtenberg and Osterlinde, there are also large, clear detour signs which also show people who are not familiar with the area how to drive around the road closures easily and almost simultaneously. Those familiar with the area who want to drive from Lichtenberg to Oelber a. w. Wege should drive via Osterlinde, Westerlinde and Wartjenstedt (federal highway A 39 or district road 40) in the direction of Baddeckenstedt (federal highway 6) to avoid unnecessary detours; the same applies in the opposite direction.

The Lower Nature Conservation Authority of the City of Salzgitter asks commuters working shifts in particular, as well as everyone else, to pay attention to the signs and to understand this important measure to protect species in Salzgitter.
