Mountain rescuer injured – rescue from the Falkert in thunderstorms and falling rocks


Dramatic operation on the Falkert in Carinthia: A Viennese woman fell into the rope around noon on the “Falkensteig” on Friday and was injured. A mountain rescuer was injured when they were rescued.

The Viennese and her boyfriend confused the “Falkensteig” with the “Murmelsteig”. Although this is more difficult to conquer, they went further. But soon the woman lost her strength and fell into the rope. A mountain rescuer from Kamering who happened to be present secured the two of them and sounded the alarm.

The Radenthein Mountain Rescue rose. Local branch manager Robert Schleiner: “It was raining and there was also a thunderstorm with heavy rain and sleet showers. When we got to the couple, stones fell on us. “

With his arm he tried to protect the head of the already injured woman. He suffered cuts and bruises. Finally, the vacationers could be roped down.

The boss of the Heidi Hotel am Falkert supported the rescue: “Lukas Köfer sent his snowmobile to the exit, with which the injured woman could be quickly brought to the parking lot.” The Johanitter ambulance delivers her to the Spittal hospital.
