Absolutes Highlight war die Zugspitze. Sehr beeindruckend und emotional war es, auf Deutschlands höchstem Berg zu stehen. Früh dort sein lohnt sich, dann ist man vor dem großen Trubel da und hat etwas mehr freie Sicht auf den Gipfel.

Vor 30 Jahren stand ich mit meiner Familie am Fuß der #Zugspitze - die Bergfahrt konnten sich meine Eltern damals nicht leisten. Wir sind froh, dass wir diese Erinnerung unseren Kindern ermöglichen konnten und schenken die Fahrt meinen Eltern zum 70. Geburtstag 🥰

#Germany - severe weather > Mountaineering group with 26 people stuck near the #Zugspitze

Constant #rain in the valley, massive #snowfall in the mountains: This was the fate of a group of 26 mountaineers. Despite the extreme snowfall, they wanted to climb the Zugspitze. The group is stuck a few hundred meters below the #Sonnalpin.

In the last few hours alone, 60 cm / 24 inches of #snow has fallen on the Zugspitze, and in some cases the snow masses have piled up to two meters (6 ft).

Several mountain rescue teams went out to look for the mountaineers in the drifting snow.

Even though not all #webcams can be as stunning as the ones installed at the #Zugspitze (Germany's highest peak, 2962m), I wish more of them would have an as generally useful UI for browsing a long archive (2 years in 10min & 30min intervals, incl. long exposure night shots) and also at least half the resolution of those cams, i.e. not just some cheap junk CCTV cams...
