Young men rescued on the way to the Zugspitze – “It’s far from summer in the mountains yet’. “You really have to issue a warning, normal mountain tours are simply not possible at the moment,” says Toni Gehringer from the Garmisch-Partenkirchen mountain rescue service.

Four young men between the ages of 17 and 18 were unable to make any progress at an altitude of more than 1,500 meters.
