Temperatures at the holiday destination: Current travel weather
A 20-year-old German died on Tuesday on the Thai holiday island of Koh Samui. She came into contact with a poisonous box jellyfish. The hotels on the island are now reacting and warning the vacationers.
A hotel on popular Lamai Beach has a jellyfish protection net around its private beach. That said a manager of the hotel. There have been warning signs on this beach for several days.
The employees of other hotels had verbally warned the guests about box jellyfish on the coast on Tuesday, it said. There are also first aid stations with vinegar on the beach. Vinegar alleviates the pain that occurs as a result of the poison.
Third case in 14 months: jellyfish kills German tourist in Thailand
The young woman from Göttingen went into the water on Lamai Beach on Tuesday evening. She came into contact with the tentacles of a box jellyfish, up to three meters long. The poison of these cnidarians is one of the most dangerous in the world. It causes paralysis and shortness of breath. The young woman died in the hospital on Wednesday night. A friend was slightly injured.
Drivers have to get used to full roads again, because the autumn holidays begin in ten federal states. They end in Thuringia and North Rhine-Westphalia. So if you are planning a trip by car on the weekend from October 16, you need a lot of patience.
The ADAC even speaks of one "the hottest weekends of the autumn travel season". Especially towards the south it gets crowded.
Traffic jams can be expected on the following motorways:
A 1 Puttgarden – Lübeck – Hamburg – Bremen – Cologne, both directions A 2 Oberhausen – Dortmund – Hanover – Berlin A 3 Cologne – Frankfurt – Würzburg – Nuremberg – Passau A 4 Aachen – Cologne – Olpe, Kirchheimer Dreieck – Erfurt – Dresden, both directions A 1 / A 3 / A 4 Cologne bypass A 5 Frankfurt – Karlsruhe – Basel A 6 Kaiserslautern – Mannheim – Heilbronn – Nuremberg, both directions A 7 Flensburg – Hamburg – Hanover – Würzburg – Füssen / Reutte, both directions A 8 Karlsruhe – Stuttgart – Munich – Salzburg, both DirectionsA 9 Munich – Nuremberg – Berlin, both directionsA 24 Hamburg – BerlinA 61 Mönchengladbach – Koblenz – Ludwigshafen, both directionsA 67 Frankfurt – Mannheim, both directionsA 72 Hof – ChemnitzA 81 Singen – Stuttgart – Heilbronn, both directionsA 93 Kufstein – Inntaldreieck, both directionsA 95 Munich – Garmisch-Partenkirchen, both directions A 96 Munich – Lindau A 99 Munich bypass
Traffic jams abroad too
The Auto Club Europa (ACE) points out that there are also autumn holidays in several Swiss cantons, parts of Holland and France. At least in the Alpine countries, long traffic jams are unlikely, according to ADAC, despite the heavy tourist traffic. There is a risk of delays in Austria on the A 1 (west), A 10 (Tauern), A 12 (Inntal) and A 13 (Brenner motorway) and the Fernpass (B 179). In Italy it gets full on the Brenner route (A 22 / SS 12) and the roads around Lake Garda. On Swiss territory, the A 2 between Basel and Chiasso and the A 1 between St. Gallen and Bern are Staufallen.

Even if the weather on land doesn’t always play along, the water of the Mediterranean is still warm enough for swimming in many places. In Antalya, Turkey, the German Weather Service (DWD) measures a solid 26 degrees Celsius this week. In the Eastern Mediterranean, the DWD even measures up to 28 degrees in isolated cases.
Corfu still reaches 22 degrees, as does the Adriatic Sea and Tunisia. Really warm bathing water awaits tourists in Egypt with 29 degrees in the Red Sea or, for example, in the Dominican Republic with 27 degrees.

The most "Railway special" (at L’tur "Wanderlust tickets") mentioned offers were never found on the website of the railway, at ticket machines or counters. Customers could only book them on five comparison portals for long-distance bus https://topadultreview.com/japaneese-brides/ tickets or L’tur.
The highlight: There were remaining seats on the trains that could be booked a week before departure. In return, the tickets at the comparison portals cost fixed prices of 19 or 29 euros for a single journey, at L’tur from 17 euros. For comparison: The cheapest saver prices for a single journey on Bahn.de start at 29 euros and are often sold out very quickly.
Strongly limited future promotions
The special offers expire at the end of the year. With the decision you want "strengthen your own sales channels" quoted "current tourism" a railway spokeswoman. There will also be promotions from partners in the future, but the contingent and offer period will be severely restricted.

The "Gift ticket" costs 55 euros and is valid for two single 2nd class journeys in Germany. This means that a trip of EUR 27.50 is even below the minimum price for a regular booking. The journeys must be started between January 4th and March 17th, Friday is excluded as a travel day.
The motorways will be full again and on the fourth Advent (December 18-20) there will be a lot of drivers. The holidays start in six federal states and the ADAC expects a lot of traffic.
In the direction of the Alps and low mountain ranges, long traffic jams will remain the exception despite the large number of holidaymakers, estimates the car club. Many use the last weekend before Christmas for shopping.
