0:40Now PlayingA decorated Russian scientist tragically fell nearly 500 feet to his death after a hiking app allegedly led him over the edge of a cliff in Germany.
The freak plunge occurred on August 12, while the man, Dr. Dmitry Fedyanin, 34 — who hails from Russia but lived in North Rhine-Westphalia — was hiking in the picturesque Berchtesgadener Alps National Park, which is known for its breathtaking views and peaks that soar up to 9,000 feet tall.
The Russki, who was reportedly traveling alone at the time, was using a navigation app to descend down to Gotzenalm near Koenigssee Lake, but was directed along a route with no paths, the Sun reported.
Tragedy struck after the alpinist lost his footing on a rocky ledge and fatally plummeted hundreds of feet.
“Our investigators assume that the male individual slipped in the rocky area which features some patches of grass,” reported Upper Bavarian Police spokesman Maximilian Maier in a statement. “He then slid down at least 150 meters (492 feet).”
