The Large Vehicle Inspection Site, also known as the LVIS gate, will be closed Thursday for the German May Day holiday, according to a sign posted at the gate.

But that’s not all that will be closed on that day, which is also Labor Day in Germany. All stores, businesses and government offices will be shut as well.

Most restaurants will be open, and the holiday is a popular day for outdoor fun with the locals, be it hiking or bike tours.
