The storm from the weekend has caused on the way to the höllental anger hut damage. The repair work is underway, the paths are blocked. This must be strictly observed. It is acute stone prevails – and, therefore, a danger to life.
Grainau – From the Pitztal Silvia Auer departs on Saturday evening to Garmisch-Partenkirchen. She wants to visit her husband. Help him on the höllental anger hut, which you will operate since may 2010. Husband Thomas is waiting for you, goes out to meet her. In the rain, he marched against 22 o’clock. His wife is on the way. Not be meeting you this evening. Three bridges on the way to the hut has been washed away by the hammer Creek. Thomas Auer is not down. Silvia Auer not to the top. She turns, runs back home. “Then I have to sleep alone again,” said the host, laughing.
Relaxed, he sits in the hut. The 61 guest are gone, evacuated on Sunday afternoon as it was clear: To come on foot into the valley. Not about the gorge, not even on the Hupfleitenjoch over on the far corner of the net. “You can forget it,” says Auer. One of the helpers looked at the path on Sunday morning. Too dangerous. The impression of a mountain guide certified. He was gone, had to save his guests from a rope on a path, the hikers cope normally without any problems.
evacuation of the Wake up guests for mountain spokesman for the right decision
How long the paths would be impassable? How long the rain clouds hanging over the valley? None could give a safe forecast. Therefore, it was decided that guests fly out. The right way to go, says John Zollnervon the mountain rescue section of the high country a day later. “It was agreed that they belong down from the mountain.”
Thomas Gesell, Lodge officer of the DAV section Munich, made on Monday, a picture of the situation. What he saw after the exit of the gorge, shocked him. “The landscape up there has changed.” The locally very limited storm left behind massive tracks. With such an extent none of them had anticipated.
closures of the Hiking trails note: Acute stone – danger to life
on Sunday, the grainauer company Dörfler with the first clean – up and repair Work began, brought in two temporary bridges to the hut as quickly as possible available again. A “hot Job” had made the men, says Gesell. Much is still to do. Therefore, the gorge and the Hupfleitenjoch to Friday, and remain locked.
do not commit The way, is not a nice Please, stresses the company. Due to the Work of massive stone and hence risk to life. As of Saturday, the gorge – there the damage is limited and the yoke re-opened. But not the rods of dough. Society expects at least four weeks, until the way – he is missing part of a fully – restored. A “high five-figure amount”, the sections of Munich and Garmisch-Partenkirchen to Partenkirchen everything, invest in everything.
Up to Saturday have to wait for the host Thomas Auer still on the guest and his wife. He takes it in its stride. With the forces of nature, he says, he can deal with it.
