At an altitude of 2000 meters

Rescue of pupils followed by recovery of the bikes

The project work of a group of German schoolchildren in the Tyrolean Zillertal ended with an emergency call and a helicopter rescue. Everyone involved is safe again. But the mountain rescuers have to go up again. The "Krone" knows why and how expensive this will be.

On Tuesday, two teachers and five adult companions set off from Furth in Bavaria with eleven high school students aged 16 to 17 on an Alpine crossing by bike, as reported by the "Krone". Their destination was Jesolo in Italy. "At around 9 a.m. on Thursday, they wanted to reach their destination for the day in Prettau in South Tyrol from Zell am Ziller via the Zillergrund and the Heilige Geistjöchl," reported the police.
