Elaborate operation
Hiker falls at dusk, rescue in the dark
An elaborate rescue operation using rope and night vision equipment was necessary on Monday in East Tyrol after a 20-year-old female hiker fell and injured her knee while descending from the chalk fire.
The 20-year-old set off on Monday at around 3 pm in Amlach with a companion of the same age on a hike via the Goggsteig towards the Kreidefeuer (1615). The two women reached the viewpoint at around 6 p.m. and began their descent at dusk.
An accident occurred: one of the locals fell and injured her knee so badly that she was unable to continue. The women made an emergency call.
Helicopter rescued woman
Mountain rescue, Alpine police and a rescue helicopter were then deployed. In a complex rescue operation, the injured woman was rescued from the helicopter using a variable rope and night vision equipment. She was then taken to the hospital in Lienz.
