The Garmisch-Partenkirchen mountain rescue service had to rescue four hikers.
The young men from Berlin were stuck in the snow on the way to the Zugspitze.
Reintal – The Garmisch-Partenkirchen mountain rescue service was asked for help by four blocked hikers late last Monday in the afternoon.
According to the mountain rescue service, the four young people from the Berlin area were already on their third day climbing to the Zugspitze when they realized that above 1,500 meters there were still wintry conditions and that they had gotten stuck in the snow.
Two mountain rescuers were flown with the Christoph Murnau helicopter to the four blocked people who were below the Knorrhütte.
Fortunately, the four were transported to Garmisch-Partenkirchen uninjured in two flights.
The mountain rescue service points out that there is still a lot of snow at higher altitudes in the mountains.
If you can't make any further progress in the snow, it's a good idea to turn around and go back along the ascent route.
