A 21-year-old boy left his 17-year-old girlfriend alone at -12 degrees on the Zugspitze.

A 21-year-old German boy is under investigation by Austrian police for leaving his 17-year-old girlfriend on Zugspitze mountain. They had planned to watch the sunrise but changed their plans due to severe weather conditions. The girl called for help after they separated, and rescuers airlifted her due to signs of hypothermia. This incident follows a similar case last year where a man was convicted after his girlfriend froze to death on another mountain.
