The two Germans will probably not forget this bachelor party in a hurry, as it ended with a large-scale rescue operation after the two drunks dived into a reservoir belonging to the Illwerke (Vorarlberg). 

On Saturday evening, two drunk Germans in Tschagguns in Montafon caused a major emergency. They had obviously gotten too drunk at a stag party and went swimming in the Latschau reservoir belonging to the Illwerke in Vorarlberg.

They left the pool on their own
According to the police, concerned passers-by had set the rescue chain in motion and alerted the fire department, water rescue service and emergency helicopter. The rapid arrival of the Latschau fire department meant that the water rescue and helicopter operation could be canceled, as both people had already left the reservoir on their own. They were slightly hypothermic but uninjured.

According to the police, the possibility of charging for the rescue operation is being investigated. In any case, the two will be reported to the district authorities for disorderly conduct.
