There they were found hypothermic and soaked.
Walchensee
– Cold and wet, they wandered around on the banks of Walchensee.
The journey of five young migrants to Germany ended on Monday morning in the parking lot of the Herzogstandbahn.
Smugglers had previously abandoned them on the B11 and left them to their fate.
Migrants speak to passers-by at the Herzogstandbahn
As the federal police section in Rosenheim reports, it was an 18-year-old Iraqi woman and four Syrians between the ages of 21 and 24 - as they told the police, they did not have any papers with them.
According to their own statements, smugglers asked them to get out of a car with a Slovenian license plate on the federal highway in the Walchensee area.
Without really knowing where they were, the young people then walked around two kilometers until they met a passer-by at the Herzogstandbahn.
They asked him in English to call the police.
Caring for migrants through the water rescue service
Since they were all wet and hypothermic, the Mittenwald border police officers who arrived called in a medical service.
As the Walchensee water rescue service reports on its Facebook page, it looked after the frozen migrants.
“It became clear that initial treatment on site was sufficient and further treatment in a hospital was not necessary,” reports a Federal Police spokesman.

The woman and the four men explained that a corresponding organization had charged them several thousand euros per person for their smuggling.
The path took them in stages via Turkey and Slovenia.
