Vacationer falls to her death at Krün: girlfriend has to watch the accident

As the police headquarters in Upper Bavaria South writes, the two women were on their way to the Upper Soiernhaus when the accident happened.

A little below the Soiernhaus, the two women from Cologne lost their way and ended up in steep, rocky terrain.

The 25-year-old probably lost her footing and fell about 100 meters - in front of her friend, who was also 25 years old.

Due to the steep, impassable terrain, she was unable to come to the aid of her fallen friend and therefore immediately called the emergency services.

The forces of the Krün Mountain Rescue Service then set off in a rescue helicopter in the direction of the accident site.

Once there, the emergency doctor could only determine the death of the hiker.

Meanwhile, her friend was flown into the valley by helicopter.

She had to be looked after by a crisis intervention team from the Krün Mountain Rescue Service.

She died instantly. The woman's body was recovered with a police helicopter.
