After heavy snowfall, around 350 people are trapped in the Berchtesgadener Land and must be provided with food by lorry. The only road to the Berchtesgaden district Buchenhöhe near the Obersalzberg is closed until further notice, said a spokesman for the district office Berchtesgadener Land.
In the morning had begun to clear the track. Several trees threatened to fall under the heavy snow load and should be felled. Only emergency personnel were able to reach the snowed-in inhabitants across the street.
The people in the Upper Bavarian community Jachenau near Bad Tölz are dependent on food deliveries because the access road is closed. Residents and rescue workers can reach the village via a small forest road.
