Twenty holidaymakers spent a terrified night trapped in a cable car in the German Alps before being rescued by helicopter.
The tourists, including several children, were lifted to safety after having been suspended 260ft above the ground for 17 hours.
Police said the cable car was stopped on Friday after a paraglider crashed into the cables of the system which climbs the Tegelberg mountain, but a prompt rescue effort was hampered by strong winds.

The 6,170ft mountain stands within sight of one of Germany's most popular tourist attractions, the Neuschwanstein Castle, which is said to have been the inspiration for one of Walt Disney's trademark fairytale castles.
Rescue workers managed to provide those stranded with warm blankets and food and drink. The children were also given toys to keep them occupied.
In the early morning rescue efforts were resumed by helicopter and all those involved were brought back down and believed to be in good health.

Despite their ordeal many of those rescued appeared to be in good spirits and were seen laughing and joking with emergency services once they were safely back on the ground.
Tegelberg is within sight of one of Germany's most popular tourist attractions - the Neuschwanstein Castle, which is often regarded as the inspiration for one of Walt Disney's fairytale castles.
The area is popular with hikers but offers visitors the option of being able to reach the top of the mountain by cable car without having to climb.
