Panic at the summit: German couple rescued by helicopter
They had planned the tour for some time, but in the end a German couple found themselves in acute distress on a summit on Lake Achensee in Tyrol. Once again, a helicopter was needed.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The German couple (28-year-old man and 23-year-old woman) started their mountain tour to the Karwendel summit Seekarspitze (2052 meters) at around 8.30 a.m. on Monday. The two had been preparing for some time, but were mainly equipped with normal hiking gear.
Knee-deep snow near the summit
The tour initially went well, but the conditions eventually made the ascent more difficult, with the pair having to trudge knee-deep through the snow near the summit. When they reached the summit at around 2.30 p.m., the woman had a panic attack, which is why the Germans made an emergency call.
Three-man team of helpers
Two members of the Achenkirch mountain rescue team and an Alpine police officer immediately set off towards the summit to rescue the two climbers. The German couple were finally lowered into the valley unharmed at around 3.45 pm by means of a rope rescue.
