The tree trunk injured a seven-year-old boy and also caused considerable damage to the “Wilder Kaiser” inn, which also regularly serves the guests filming.
“The inn appears in every episode”
Pictures, which are available to the “Bild” newspaper, show the partially completely destroyed facade of the building.

He was injured and taken to the hospital in Innsbruck by helicopter.
