tragic mountain accidents in recent times
The persistent series of accident in the Alps alerts the emergency services. Since the end of June there have been several fatal crashes and injuries that ranged from a lightning strike in the Dolomites to falls in Tyrol and Styria. The serious accidents on July 5th and 6th are particularly worrying, when a total of three people have an accident and Sadly died.
Roland Ampenberger, spokesman for the Bavaria Bergwacht, warns of the increasing risk of accidents, especially when many people are traveling in the mountains. "The accidents are often the result of a tragic chain of several causes," he says and emphasizes the importance of security rules such as good tour planning and the consideration of the weather conditions. "On the mountain you should rather find out than overestimate," adds Ampenberger Br.de
Caution in the mountains
The incident on the Rabenköpfl should serve as a reminder to take the dangers while hiking through the Alps seriously. The reality on the mountain is often more inhospitable than is shown in social media. Hikers and mountaineers are called up to be responsible and adequately prepared when planning their tours. This not only includes suitable equipment, but also the knowledge of your own fitness and the nature lived on the mountains.
The mountains attract many hikers, especially in the summer months, which increases the likelihood of accidents. It is therefore essential to always act with sufficient reserves and treat nature with respect. Despite its beauty, the mountains should not be underestimated.
