Lost hikers called for “air support”
They got lost on the first part of their hike, but it was only on the way back that they really lost their way. Two elderly hikers in Upper Austria had to call for "air support" to get home safely. They were rescued by the air police.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen A 75-year-old woman and a 77-year-old man, both from Traunkirchen, wanted to hike the Stoderer Dolomitensteig in the municipality of Hinterstoder. Right at the beginning, however, the two left the marked trail and followed a wooden path uphill. Eventually, they followed various game trails in the belief that they would reach the Hochsteinalm.
Rescue by rope necessary
After realizing their mistake, they climbed back down into the valley without a path and got into such exposed terrain that they finally made an emergency call. The Hinterstoder Mountain Rescue Service and the Alpine Police immediately made their way to the scene. At the same time, the police helicopter was requested. In the end, the two hikers were freed from their predicament by the air police crew using a rope rescue and flown safely down into the valley.
