Body of a German doctor found on Mt. Prenj after months of searching

Dr. Missler disappeared in September 2024 after traveling to Bosnia and Herzegovina for a research. His vehicle was then found at the foot of Mt. Prenj, and the last trace led to this part of the mountain. Despite months of intensive searches, including searches of known routes and the use of drones, the result was long in vain.

Members of the Mountain Rescue Service (GSS) Prenj never gave up their search.

In the past nine months, with greater or lesser intensity, individual places and possible directions of movement have been constantly checked, in the hope that any trace of the missing mountaineer would be discovered.

"Today, our rescuers, together with Sebastian Missler, the son of the missing doctor, went out into the field again to follow certain paths that his father probably used. During that joint search, Dr. Missler's body was found in very inaccessible terrain," it was announced.

An investigation is now being conducted by members of the Konjic Police Department, which will be followed by the extremely demanding transport of the body through difficult and technically complicated terrain to the place where it can be picked up by a vehicle from the competent services.

"On behalf of all members of GSS Prenj, we express our deepest condolences to the family of Dr. Wolfram Missler. His disappearance and the months-long search have left a strong mark on all of us, both personally and professionally," the group said, along with the message:

"This event is another reminder of the complexity and unpredictability of Mount Prenj, and we urge all mountaineers to approach planning their tours with maximum responsibility, information, and compliance with safety recommendations."
