Austrian Alps

Interest in the German mountain rescue drama 'Die Bergretter' is rising, with German-language coverage including a travel feature visiting the series' filming locations. The ZDF production, set in the Austrian Alps, continues to draw a loyal audience, and fans appear to be exploring where the show is shot and following its ongoing episodes.

A magnitude 3.7 earthquake struck near Hall in Tyrol at night, shaking buildings in Innsbruck and waking residents. It is the latest in an unusual series of tremors in the Alps that seismologists say shows no sign of stopping. A seismologist has warned residents about what could still follow, and German and Austrian media are closely tracking each new quake.
