On Lake Wolfgangsee

Another stand-up paddler in distress at sea

On Tuesday evening, Salzburg Water Rescue once again had to rescue a stand-up paddler from distress at sea. He had not made it to shore on his own.

A search operation was launched on Tuesday evening with rescue boats from St. Gilgen and the St. Wolfgang volunteer fire department.

Wanted to cross Lake Wolfgang
A stand-up paddler had wanted to cross Lake Wolfgang with a friend in the Falkensteinerwand area. However, as a thunderstorm approached, one of the two paddlers did not make it back to shore.

The water sportsman was found unharmed after around 45 minutes, reported the water rescue service.
