Krün: Dramatic rescue operation after a Muren exit in the Finzklamm
The youngest storms in the Isar Valley not only affected nature, but also led to a remarkable use of emergency services. In Krün, numerous hikers had to be diverted around the Schöttl Alple Bridge and the Finzklamm after the water blocked the route. The situation of a family that was enclosed in the gorge during the storm was particularly urgent.
rescue operation of the mountain rescue service
on Tuesday, during a violent thunderstorm, a father of the Krener mountain guard reported the emergency of his family in the finzklamm via satellite phone. Immediately a large number of emergency services, including 30 helpers from the mountain rescue service and other specialists, recorded the rescue operation. Despite difficult conditions and a tense radio connection, the rescuers were able to find the family quickly and get it safe.
A strong storm ensures chaotic relationships
The storms of the past few days have been devastating, especially in the fields around the sewer area. Here, a heavy rain led to an immediate flood, which damaged the Schöttl-Alple-Bridge and partially teared away the associated forest road. The sudden increase in water and the erosion of the shores ensured that numerous hikers were in danger.
Community EFFORTS and Fast Measures
Despite the catastrophic situation, the cooperation between the various aid organizations was exemplary. On -call director Bernhard Riesch praised the smooth coordination of everyone involved, which made it possible to carry out the rescue as quickly and efficiently as possible. Thanks to the rapid reactions, the trapped family could be recovered quickly without anyone being injured.
The effects on the local community
The incidents in the Isar Valley also have a major impact on the municipality of Krün and the surrounding areas. While the destruction of paths and bridges will take some time, the successful rescue operation shows the strength and cohesion of the community. It is not only a memory of how valuable volunteers are, but also that everyone is ready to work together in a crisis.
The restoration of the accessibility of the Schöttl-Alple-Brücke was already tackled in the evening after the storm. Local forestry companies were working hard to put the path back into a navigable state until midnight. This quick reaction strengthens awareness of the dangers caused by extreme weather conditions and the need to establish sustainable emergency plans.
In summary, it should be noted that despite the threatening situations that the storm produced in the Isar Valley, the cooperation of the aid organizations and the resilience of the population in crisis times throw a positive light on the community.
