Pentecost 2025: Stau forecast for the busiest weekend!

Bremen-Hemelingen, Deutschland - The Pentecost period brings a remarkable wave of travel with it this year. Car travelers from several federal states set out to enjoy the days off. Especially in Berlin, Bremen, Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, travelers can look forward to a school-free Tuesday. In Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg even two-week holidays start. Autobahn GmbH therefore expects one of the busiest weekends of the year and warns especially on Friday afternoon, June 6th, and Saturday morning, June 7th.

The flow of traffic will also be affected on the subsequent Whit Monday (June 9) and on Tuesday by regional return traffic. Many families with school -age children plan trips, which always leads to increased traffic. This makes this time a real challenge for car travelers. Autogazette emphasizes that Pentecost Monday is a legal holiday in almost all neighboring countries. further reinforced.

traffic jam forecast and construction sites

• A1: Bremen-Hemelingen, Münster-Hiltrup, Dortmund/Unna

• A3: Bonn/Siegburg, Würzburg-Heidingsfeld
• A4: Bad Hersfeld, Erfurt-West
• A5: Hattenbacher Dreieck, Hirschberg
• A7: Hannover-Süd, Bad Brückenau
• A40: Duisburg-Rheinhausen, Duisburg-Homberg

ADAC also reports that the travel wave remains unbroken despite increasing petrol prices.

tips for car travelers

The Autobahn GmbH gives some helpful tips for a relaxed trip: Find out in advance about construction sites and closures on your route. Starts rested and thinks about packing enough drinks and snacks. Planning long breaks and taking a regular basis can help to make the trip more bearable. Dynamic directions for diversions should also be observed, and in traffic jams it is important to form a rescue alley in order to facilitate access to the rescue workers.

On Sunday after Pentecost, it can get a little more relaxed on the long -distance roads, but excursion traffic to the local recreation areas around the big cities should give simulations. Use the possibility of calling up current traffic information via the ADAC Trips app or the website of the ADAC in order to always be informed and make the best decisions during the trip.
