An American tourist died on July 3 after he fell while hiking in the Bavarian Alps.
The 73-year-old man, whose name was not released by police, fell 361 feet during a hike on Jenner Mountain at the northern end of Konigsee Lake in Bavaria at around 2:30 p.m.
Jenner Mountain, 6,148 feet tall at the summit, is part of the Göll massif in the Berchtesgaden Alps. Popular hiking trails there lead to the Hohes Brett and Scheibstein peaks, and to Berchtesgaden National Park in the south. It is reachable via cable car.
