Father and son in the Eibsee misses: dramatic rescue operation is running!

On Saturday afternoon, July 5, 2025, a tragic incident occurred on the Eibsee, which keeps the entire region in suspense. A 33-year-old father and his six-year-old son went under swimming after the boy fell out of a pedal boat. The father immediately jumped behind to save his child, but both got into the dangerous currents of the water and were no longer seen. Despite intensive search measures that included divers, helicopters, boats and even special underwater search devices, the Wasserwacht Grainau had to set the search at 5 p.m. for safety reasons, such as [br24] (https://www.br.de/nachrichten/bayern/bater-und-kind-im-eibsee-vermisstlauf-lauft ,uq4ioyg) reported.

The mother of the little boy, 34 years old, and the four -year -old daughter stayed on board the pedal boat and could no longer follow her relatives. The water guard has already steamed the hope of a living recovery of the two missing people, since the underwater currents on the Eibsee are particularly strong and the water depth at the scene of the accident is between 25 and 30 meters.

search action and determination

The committed emergency services arrive at the scene of the accident within a few minutes, from the water guard up to other rescue teams. The search continues on Sunday, in the great hope of receiving even more information. The Weilheim criminal police have now taken over the investigation into the accident and examines all the relevant details to determine the exact circumstances that led to this accident.

The affected family comes from the Haßberge district in Lower Franconia and not only lost their relatives at the weekend, but also part of their carefree holiday joy at the Eibsee, a popular contact point for bathers in the region. It is important to mention that the water temperatures on the Eibsee were pleasant 22 degrees Celsius, but the danger that comes from the flowing waters should never be underestimated.

warnings of the water guard

In the past, there have already been further life -threatening incidents on the Eibsee. The Water Wacht Bavaria urgently warns of entering ice surfaces - this applies especially to mountain lakes. Just recently, 16 tourists broke into a frozen area of ​​the Eibensee. This often happens because ice surfaces seem more stable than they actually are. Sohrab Taheri-Sohi, spokesman for the Bavarian Red Cross, emphasized how important it is to take such dangers seriously, especially in spring-like temperatures that reduce the load capacity of the ice.

This weekend, beautiful, sunny days with temperatures up to 19 degrees are predicted, which could lead to a rush to the mountain lakes. The water guard therefore appeals to everyone to be careful and adhere to the recommended safety precautions so that tragedies such as those on the Eibsee do not happen again. The regional -specific warnings are urgent and those responsible are striving to ensure the safety of all visitors.
