Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The couple from Belgium (40 and 42 years old) had set off on a hike in Sportgastein in the morning. They wanted to hike the so-called "Bockhartseerunde". On the way back on the "Zimburgweg" in steeply sloping terrain, they encountered other hikers. They enquired about the path and its accessibility. The couple continued their hike.
There were several snowfields above the Miesbichlscharte, which is why the two people left the path and entered steep terrain. Due to the very steep terrain, the soft snow and the danger of falling, they decided to make an emergency call.
The air police were able to discover the two Belgians during the search flight with the "Libelle" helicopter and subsequently rescue them. The hikers remained unharmed. They were equipped with mountain boots and rucksacks.
