In a social media post, the Embassy thanked them for their swift response and commitment during the rescue operations.

“Thanks to their swift response and tireless efforts, four German citizens were successfully rescued during two separate operations in recent days. Despite the challenging terrain, darkness and high temperatures, the rescue teams managed to locate and save both groups of climbers,” the Embassy said in its post.

The German Embassy praised the professionalism and courage of all the teams involved in the rescue operations.

At the same time, the Embassy urged all tourists and hiking enthusiasts to exercise caution when planning trips to Albania’s mountainous areas.

“Plan your trip carefully, check weather conditions, wear appropriate clothing, and always carry enough water and sun protection. A reliable GPS system and a fully charged mobile phone can be vital in an emergency,” the German Embassy said.

The German Embassy wished all visitors safe travels and unforgettable experiences in Albania’s natural landscapes.
