Missing German Tourists in Albania Found Safe After 27-Hour Search in Librazhd's Polis Mountain Area

 Two German tourists who had been reported missing in the Polis mountain region of Librazhd have been found safe and in good health after an intensive search operation that lasted approximately 27 hours.

Four men are standing together outdoors in a grassy, mountainous area. Two of the individuals have their faces pixelated for privacy; the man on the far left wears a black shirt, shorts, and gives a thumbs-up gesture, while the man on the far right wears a black shirt and dark pants. Standing between them are two men in uniform representing local law enforcement, with one of the officers placing his arms around the shoulders of the men next to him. An official emblem of the Albanian State Police is visible in the upper-left corner of the image.
  The search for two missing travelers in the rugged Polis mountain region concluded successfully after a 27-hour operation. Local authorities and residents celebrated the positive outcome near the village of Stravaj.
The incident, which had raised concerns among local authorities and rescue teams, ended positively after officials clarified the circumstances surrounding the tourists' disappearance.

According to sources from the area and Albanian police official report, the two women encountered mechanical problems with their vehicle while traveling through the mountainous terrain of Polis. Faced with a vehicle breakdown and limited options for assistance, they decided to leave the car behind and continue their journey on foot.

A rocky, dirt road in a remote mountain area with several vehicles parked along the sides, including pickup trucks, SUVs, and a black Volkswagen minivan with an Albanian license plate reading "AA 014 YB." In the background, two men in dark clothing—one wearing a cap—are standing on the path next to a dark SUV, surrounded by dense green forest foliage and steep hillsides.
 Vehicles and local rescue teams assembled along a rugged mountain trail during the multi-hour search operation coordinated by the Librazhd Police Directorate and local forestry services.
After walking several kilometers through the area, the tourists eventually reached a road where they encountered a passing van. Their location was later confirmed near the village of Stravaj, bringing the search operation to a successful conclusion.

Authorities confirmed that both women were found in good health and did not require urgent medical assistance. The discovery ended a large-scale search effort that had been underway since the tourists were reported missing.

The Polis mountain area, known for its rugged landscapes and natural beauty, attracts visitors seeking adventure and outdoor experiences. However, local authorities often remind travelers to plan routes carefully, ensure their vehicles are suitable for mountainous terrain, and maintain communication whenever possible when exploring remote regions.

The successful outcome of the operation has been welcomed by both rescue teams and local residents, who had followed developments closely throughout the search.

With the tourists safely located near Stravaj, authorities have officially concluded the search and rescue operation.
