- According to the police, two motorcyclists were involved in an accident on Sylvenstein on Good Friday (March 28th). A 28-year-old from Holzkirchen
and a 30-year-old from Rottach-Egern were traveling with their machines on the B307 from the Sylvenstein dam towards Kaiserwacht, i.e. the Austrian border, at around 2:55 p.m.
Motorcyclists cause a rear-end collision at Sylvenstein
Ahead of them was a 36-year-old from Achenkirch, Austria, driving his Mercedes flatbed truck. When he had to slow down due to traffic because another vehicle in front of him wanted to turn from the main road into a parking lot, the two motorcyclists were unable to stop in time and hit the flatbed truck. Both men were slightly injured. An ambulance took her to the hospital.

The two motorcycles suffered material damage totaling 4,000 euros. They were no longer drivable and also had to be towed away. According to reports, there was only minor damage to the flatbed truck amounting to around 500 euros. Here too, the Fall fire department was deployed with two vehicles.
Incorrect location information when reporting an accident at Sylvenstein
According to the police, it initially took some time for the emergency services to find the scene of the accident because the location of the accident had initially been incorrectly reported. So all emergency services initially headed towards Vorderriß. “Fortunately,” said the police, “none of those involved were seriously injured, which is why the delay was manageable.”
The route on Sylvenstein is also becoming increasingly popular with motorcyclists because there is a driving ban on the popular serpentine route over the Kesselberg from April 1st to October 31st.
