Left the path
Shepherd rescues lost German hiker
A 64-year-old hiker from Germany in the Widderstein region was very lucky on Tuesday afternoon. The man had lost his way in rough terrain, but a shepherd noticed his plight just in time.
The Widderstein area is definitely a tough one, and you should have at least a little mountain experience if you want to let off steam there. What you should also do: stay on the marked paths. However, a 64-year-old hiker from Germany did not follow this principle. Instead, he decided to take a shortcut on his Widderstein circular hike and descend via the direct route towards Bärguntalpe. However, he didn't get to his destination any quicker, quite the opposite: the German got lost in rough terrain and was ultimately unable to get either forwards or backwards.
Luckily for him, a shepherd on the high alp became aware of his plight and immediately informed the local rescue and fire department. A helicopter arrived a few minutes later. The man was rescued by rope and brought back to Mittelberg safe and sound.
