Tip for emergency reporting - give answers to the six W-questions:

What happened?
How many injured?
Where did the accident happen (possibly GPS coordinates)?
Who is reporting (callback number)?
When did the accident happen?
Weather at the accident site?

Proper backpacking makes many things easier: pack heavy things first. The water bottle should always be within easy reach in a side pocket. All things that are often needed, such as sunglasses, camera or hiking map, belong on top. An emergency kit including blister plaster belongs in every backpack and a clothing according to the "onion system" is always recommended!

You can decide whether you want to go back the same way to St. Magdalena or whether you want to add the connecting trail W6 to your tour.
