The bad weather so far this summer is causing problems for beer garden operators in Saxony. The rainy summer is spoiling the beer garden season, said the managing director of the Saxon Hotel and Restaurant Association, Axel Klein, to the German Press Agency. "Every day of sunshine counts."
Guests prefer to stay at home, look for a restaurant with indoor facilities or travel to warmer climes altogether. Meanwhile, restaurateurs are still incurring costs, as Klein explained. They usually have to pay fees to the local authorities for their outdoor seating.
