>What in the actual fuck?>Why on earth aren't you allowed to camp in a public forest? That's absolutely retarded.them's the rules…
But yeah, stupid. The term often used is "Alpines Ödland", so alpine wasteland or something, implying that it's probably about uses. Forests get used for forestry, but some frozen shitty gravel wasteland has no uses, so you might as well sleep there for the night or something.
I can understand some rules, mostly because of
>>1209530>"broken window syndrome" - if you let anyone stay and don't enforce some rules, you get the scumCentral Europe is populated really densely. And if everyone that goes /out/ (it's quite a lot of people, actually) just pops up a tent right next to a busy path, every area that's easy to access will be a tent city, full of dungheaps everywhere and probably a few forest fires to boot.
But yeah, mostly its overregulated.
