Because a cyclist fell three meters deep, the Steingaden-Peiting mountain rescue service had to move out to the Kenzen area at the weekend.
Steingaden - The nice weather at the weekend made for many day trippers in the Kenzen area, especially the various bike tours were well frequented.
A 35-year-old from near Dießen was on the so-called Wasserscheidrunde, but fell on the forest road along the Schwarzenbach - and was unlucky that he fell into the stream a good three meters below.
He injured his head and broke his arm.
The alerted rescue workers from the Steingaden-Peiting mountain rescue service, who are on standby at the weekend on a voluntary basis at the service hut below the Kenzenhütte, drove the rescue vehicle to the scene of the accident and treated the injured person.
Due to the height of the fall and the suspected further injuries, the operations manager requested the helicopter from Kempten.
After the patient had been placed in a rescue bag with a vacuum mattress, he was picked up by the machine using a cable winch and flown to the hospital.
All police reports from the Weilheim-Schongau region are available in our blue light ticker.
