Overview
- The incident occurred Friday on the route between Sonntagshorn and Aibleck near the Hochgern/Peitlingkopf area on the German–Austrian frontier.
- The owner could not reach the dog in the steep gully and alerted Leitstelle Traunstein, prompting responses from the Reichenhaller Bergwacht and Bergrettung Unken.
- Rescuers approached via Austria through Unken and Heutal, then roped down, fitted the Labrador with a harness, and guided it back to the trail and vehicle without injuries.
- The Bavarian Red Cross reports the call around late morning with a rescue lasting roughly five hours, while one outlet cites a later call and about an hour on scene.
- The route is considered technically demanding with an I+ climbing section and fixed aids, highlighting significant fall risk for hikers and animals.
