Man in hospital
Lost Viennese man rescued from mountain pasture by helicopter
A 66-year-old hiker got lost and injured during a hike in Ausseerland and had to be brought down to the valley by helicopter.
Like thousands of other holidaymakers, the Viennese took advantage of the glorious summer weather on Saturday for a mountain hike in Styria. The man was hiking in the municipality of Altaussee on the Brunnwiesenalm. He wanted to hike to the Stummenalm via an old hunter's trail. However, at an altitude of around 1600 meters, he lost his way and got lost in the rough terrain.
Hours of searching for the right path
The 66-year-old tried for two hours to get back onto the marked path, but to no avail. During this attempt, he sustained minor injuries to his legs and also suffered from circulatory problems due to the heat.
At around 6 p.m., he finally made an emergency call and was brought down to the valley by police helicopter and then to Bad Aussee Regional Hospital.
