So cover with blanket or can use plastic ?

[@pinkandreas]

The solution would be that you restrict it only for traffic ... 99% people will/can not walk down there. We hiked down there, it was great. So, I am not a fan of closing it for all, also for hikers.

@@fungi4591 You're not a resident. Residents don't start a question with "what if". So if you don't know the answer to your question, you don't need to know it. You just being nosey.
