Tragedy on the Zugspitze: Missing doctor is probably fatal!

Zugspitze, Deutschland - A resident doctor from Wangen has been missing since her trip to the Zugspitze on December 4th. According to the Rosenheim police headquarters, a woman's death must be assumed because the trace situation suggests this. The doctor rushed on the north side of the Zugspitze on the evening of December 4, probably several hundred meters deep.

Although rescue workers, including police mountain guides and two police helicopters, as well as forces from the mountain growth Grainau and Garmisch-Partenkirchen, searched for the missing person, the alleged body has not yet been found. The search, which was alerted by relatives at around 6 p.m. after a missing report, was difficult, since the snow conditions are likely to be rescue the body until spring. During the search, the rescue workers found personal objects of the woman at the summit.

In another incident, mountaineers recently fought under extreme weather conditions on the Zugspitze. Despite constant rain in the valley and massive snowfall in the mountains, several groups went to Germany's highest peak. The snow masses sometimes piled up to two meters high, which reduced visibility to just about 100 meters.

Many mountaineers made emergency calls because they could no longer continue at a height of around 2500 meters due to the weather and the fresh snow. As a result, the mountain rescue was alerted, which immediately moved out. Employees of the Zugspitzbahn were traveling with slopes to look for the stranded mountaineers. In addition, the Zugspitz cable car could not drive at times due to the weather, as the rollers of the rope rider were frozen.

The Zugspitze, with a height of 2962 meters, is known to be a dangerous mountain, from the different sides of which you can fall into the depths. The practice of the missing doctor in Wangen has been closed since the beginning of December, which underlines the sad situation.
