Late summer is a lot of fun in Bavaria in 2020.

He has downsides for the mountain rescue service: there was a turbulent weekend in the Bavarian Alps.

Bad Reichenhall

- It has gotten a little cooler - but the wonderful late summer continues to attract

mountaineers

in droves to the

Bavarian Alps

.

The

mountain rescuers

in the far south-east of the Free State also feel this: They had to go

to a dozen missions

in the

Berchtesgadener Land

alone at the weekend

, as the

Bavarian Red Cross announced

on Sunday (September 20).

Mountain rescue service in Berchtesgadener Land in constant use: Bavarian falls in Klamm in Bergbach

A

49-year-old woman from the Upper Palatinate was

very lucky in the accident

: She fell

four meters down on a bridge

in the

Almbachklamm

on Saturday afternoon

- into the Almbach.

According to the information, the Bavarian injured her head, spine and hip.

Hikers provided

first aid

, and after an

emergency call,

the

Marktschellenberg mountain rescue service

hurried

down from the surrounding mountains on foot.

The accident victim was later rescued by helicopter on a 50-meter rescue rope and then

flown to the

Traunstein Clinic

.

Mountain rescuers are in great demand in late summer - several hikers collapse or overestimate each other

In addition, despite the comparatively moderate temperatures, several hikers collapsed in the mountains or had to be rescued exhausted.

According to the information, a previously ill 23-year-old from Bremen on the

steep section of the Sagerecksteig had reached

the end of his strength

on Friday afternoon

.

A helicopter brought him and his companion along the rope to the

south bank of the Königsee

, where the water watch took over.

On Saturday afternoon, a 25-year-old collapsed at

Untersberg-Stöhrhaus

with

severe circulatory problems

.

She was

flown

to the Bad Reichenhall District Hospital

by

helicopter

.

Hours later, an “acutely internistically ill younger vacationer” had to be

treated

with severe pain on the

Königssee peninsula of Sankt Bartholomä

.

After the first aid by the emergency services, she was also flown to the Traunstein Clinic.

At the Königssee in the summer, the daring approach of a couple with a child raised eyebrows.

A hiking excursion in the Tegernsee Alps ended more seriously in September - a man collapsed and died.
