Holidaymakers find themselves in distress on Dreisesselberg: old snow causes problems
The two hikers from Saxony-Anhalt had taken the cable car to the Pfarrstuhl and wanted to return to the valley on foot via the Dreisesselberg.
At around 4:50 p.m. they made an emergency call because they could no longer find the further route of the summer path near Lake Steinberg due to the amount of old snow.

Mountain rescue rescues holidaymakers and flies them into the valley
The Traunstein rescue helicopter “Christoph 14” therefore picked up two mountain rescuers.
After a short search, the duo was found a good distance off the path.
The helicopter dropped both rescuers there with the winch.
The man (60) and the woman (61) were secured in rescue seats, "so that the helicopter could winch them in two approaches and fly them into the valley in the last light of day," as the BRK finally reports.
