  • A curious incident occurred at Brauneck near Lenggries.

  • Two tourists had relied too much on their GPS.

  • It led them straight up the mountain - including the car.

Lenggries

- Sometimes the

navigation system

can be

very misleading.

This is what happened to at least two Asian

tourists

on Sunday

.

When looking for the

panorama

restaurant

on the

Brauneck

, they completely relied on their

satnav

- which promptly took them by car to the

mountain restaurant

.

Brauneck: Tourists kept to the sat nav and overlooked warning signs

Two

hikers

from

Lenggries

could hardly believe their eyes when they saw the women in the

Mini Cooper

up on the

mountain

.

“It can be pretty dangerous to drive up there, especially without all-wheel drive,” says Marcus Gutt.

"The guy I went hiking with

has never seen it

in the 30 years he's worked for the

mountain railway

."

He spoke to the women and explained that you cannot drive up here by

car

.

“You could already tell that they had started

sweating

.

Presumably the barrier was open below and they probably overlooked the warning signs, ”speculates Gutt.

On her way to the Eibsee, a car driver got into an awkward position near Grainau.

She relied entirely on her GPS - and landed at an altitude of 1,400 meters.

The same happened to a tourist near Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

Because he relied on his sat nav, he drove his car onto a ski slope.
