CNN —A 21-year-old American woman died after being assaulted and pushed down a slope by an American man near one of Germany’s most popular tourist sights, Neuschwanstein Castle, in Bavaria, according to local police. The victim had gone for a hike on Wednesday with her friend, a 22-year-old American woman, near the historic “Marienbrücke,” a bridge known for its views of the Neuschwanstein Castle. The two women then met a 30-year-old American man who persuaded them to follow him down a hidden trail leading to a viewpoint, according to police. After leading the women down the trail, the man “physically attacked” the 21-year-old woman, according to police. The man then choked the 22-year-old woman and pushed her down a steep slope after she intervened to help her friend.

Sculptura de doi metri înălțime ar fi dispărut în weekend, a anunțat luni ziarul local Allgaeuer Zeitung, citat de The Guardian , lăsând în urmă doar o grămadă de rumeguș pe muntele Grünten, înalt de 1.738 metri, aflat în Bavaria, la 140 km sud-vest de München. „Omagiul” adus organului genital masculin a devenit o mare atracție turistică în ultimii ani și chiar a apărut pe Google Maps, unde a fost clasificat drept „monument cultural”. Tradiția locală spune că sculptura a fost realizată de un tânăr care a vrut să facă o farsă familiei, însă aceasta nu a apreciat darul și astfel „opera” de 200 de kilograme a fost dusă pe munte. Agenția de știri germană Dpa a anunțat că poliția din orașul bavarez Kempten investighează dispariția sculpturii, deși nu este foarte clar dacă s-a săvârșit vreo infracțiune, întrucât proprietarul este necunoscut.
