Weird case
Long search operation: what the ski tourer did
As reported in the "Krone" newspaper, a missing ski tourer turned up at home in Upper Austria a day later after an hours-long search operation last weekend - he was actually out with his wife. The police have now clarified what happened in the meantime.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen Last Saturday, an Upper Austrian man (60) did not make it to the meeting point with his wife in Mühlbach am Hochkönig. A search operation by the emergency services lasted for hours as a result. This was abandoned without success. It is now clear that the man was not in the search area.
Instead of waiting for his wife at the mountain station, he climbed the Schneeberg for around 2.5 hours. From there, he headed south towards St. Veit and thus moved even further away from the search area.
On the way back up the Schneeberg, the 60-year-old had a problem with his bindings and therefore left his skis behind. He struggled onwards on foot and had to take repeated rest and sleep breaks due to his exhaustion. He finally arrived in Mühlbach in the early hours of the morning, exhausted but uninjured, and then made his way back to Upper Austria.
