## Trivia

Because so many scenes were filmed in rocky areas or from great heights, bonus features in the DVD editions mention that filming was often very dangerous. The film crew received assistance from the Bavarian Mountain Rescue Service, the Bundeswehr, Bavarian Border Police, and the Austrian Gendarmerie.
