This tragedy is not the only one that has affected the Allgäu Alps recently. A similar misfortune occurred on the weekend before: A 41-year-old woman fell 50 meters with her husband in Oberstdorf and later died in the hospital. These repeated tragedies throw a light on the challenges that hiking brings in steep terrain, even for experienced climbers.

The Alpine operational group of the police has taken over the processing of the incident and will examine further information in order to clarify the exact circumstances of the accident. This sad event reminds us all of the risks that lurk in the mountains, and the need to be careful and caution.

For the bereaved and those affected, this loss is immeasurable. The region mourns the loss of the young woman who lost her life on her hiking trip, and the memory of her passion for nature will remain alive with her friends and family. The current situation also raises questions about security when hiking, a topic that affects the entire Allgäu and may result in changes in the training and information of the hikers.

in the hope that such accidents can be avoided in the future, it should be noted that preventive measures and comprehensive mountain and route planning are essential in order to make hiking in the beautiful but also dangerous mountains more secure.
