A new action by the hosts is to be taken with a lot of humour. She and guests glue their hands to the counter and call themselves “hut activists”. Many visitors find it funny and join in.
Climate activists who stick to the asphalt and in museums have been causing heated debates for months. A photo based on these actions is now circulating on social media. It shows a hand taped to a counter, the other hand holding a glass of beer. “We are the penultimate generation – we call ourselves hut activists – we save the innkeeper”, can still be read on the picture. Innkeepers call for sticking at the counterIn Salzburg’s Lungau and on the Katschberg, hosts glue their guests to the counter. Peter Aschbacher from the Gamskogelhütte says with a smile: “We are the hut activists. Life is hard enough, we need a little more humor.” He got the photo from a friend who is a police officer and also allowed himself to have fun. “You have to pay attention to the environment, but you don’t have to endanger or hinder drivers, emergency services or lives – sticking it on the street is simply going too far.” “We often stick around at the bar at Peter’s because we got married here ten years ago!” smile Julia and Hermann Fillafer. And Susanna Öllinger and Josef Pleikner from Millstatt add: “We celebrate the innkeepers by sticking to the counter.” Aschbacher describes the current situation as weird: “We innkeepers have enough to fight, first Corona, then the lack of employees and now the price increase – we don’t lose our sense of humor and just allowed ourselves to have this fun.”
