The high energy prices also fueled the demand for fireplaces and thus firewood. Anyone who wants to “get” it in the forest is even threatened with imprisonment.
Electricity and gas prices have been rising for months. Many Viennese have therefore looked around for alternatives to heating. This made fireplaces and tiled stoves particularly ‘hot good’. It all has a side effect. Because the demand for firewood also grew due to the many new stoves. The result: Many suppliers are already sold out, and if any stocks are left, they are sold only to regular customers or at ridiculous prices. If a running meter of wood cost 80 to 90 euros last year, you now have to pay between 200 and 250 euros.
But what if you have a brand new tiled stove but no firewood for it? Never collect in the woods, cut down a tree or cut a slice of dried logs in a sawmill. That can get very expensive.
