And on another day, things get hectic: A mountain hiker suffers a painful kneecap injury while descending from the Watzmannhaus.3Life-threatening on the ZugspitzeA dramatic call for help from Germany's highest mountain: Two tourists were caught in a violent thunderstorm and snowstorm while climbing a via ferrata.

On another day, duty officer Willi Kraus Sr. had to rescue a mountaineer by helicopter who had fallen through a rock on the "Iron Age" climbing route on the Zugspitze.4Air rescue on the WatzmannThree friends are stuck on a steep slope on the small Watzmann mountain - rescue is only possible by air.

This is a mission that will demand everything from the mountain rescuers.5MissingA young man has been missing for days. His last known whereabouts: the Höllental valley on the way to the Zugspitze.

Another team from the Grainau mountain rescue service is on alert: a hiker has fallen on the Stangensteig trail.6Night SearchTwo climbers are reported missing on the Watzmann after being caught in a severe storm. As darkness falls, mountain rescuers begin their search for the missing men. But even after more than 12 hours, there is no trace of them.

On the steep slopes around the Zugspitze, several emergencies often occur simultaneously. This requires quick and professional action.
