Captured on video
Huge rockfall in Tyrol near the Zugspitze
Spectacular natural spectacle on Saturday evening in the Tyrolean Außerfern: A massive rockfall occurred in the Wetterstein mountains near Ehrwald close to the Zugspitze, which was captured on video. No one was injured.
At around 6.15 p.m., masses of rock broke off at an altitude of around 2700 meters between the Sonnenspitzl and Schneefernerkopf (2874 m) in a northerly direction. The bang of the break-off could be heard as far as the Ehrwald basin.
Masses of rock thundered onto the path
The masses of rock thundered down into the so-called Gamskar and reached the path to the Wiener-Neustädter-Hütte. Fortunately, there were no hikers or mountaineers in the area during the rockfall, so no one was injured or even killed.
A former hunter's trail was also affected, but is no longer used.
More than 1000 meters down
It was only at an altitude of around 1600 meters, after a total of more than 1000 meters, that the rock masses and the dust avalanche finally came to a halt.
