Helicopter rescue

Automatically saved draft

A couple from Germany in the Kreuzeck Group found out just how quickly the weather can change in the mountains: The hikers wanted to spend a few days at the Hugo-Gerbers-Hütte, but were surprised by the snow.

First things first: the German couple were safe and well looked after at the hut. Nevertheless, the couple felt uneasy when there was suddenly half a meter of snow in front of the hut. The hikers wanted to cut their short vacation at the Hugo-Gerbers-Hütte in the Kreuzeckgruppe in Oberdrauburg short immediately.

On Saturday, a friend raised the alarm. Due to the weather, neither mountain rescuers nor the police helicopter were able to reach the mountain, but on Sunday the police helicopter team was able to bring the couple down to the valley.
