Overview

  • ADAC and ACE predict significant congestion from Friday, June 6, to Tuesday, June 10, with major routes across the country affected.
  • School holidays beginning in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg on June 6 will intensify traffic on key corridors including the A8, A9, A93, A95 and A96.
  • The heaviest delays are forecast for Friday afternoon and Monday’s return journeys, while Sunday, June 8, offers the most favorable driving conditions.
  • Ongoing construction on the Brenner and Tauernautobahns, block controls on the Gotthard route and sample border checks at Suben, Walserberg and Kiefersfelden may extend travel times.
