The Lenggrieser mountain rescue service had to deal with a number of missions in the past few days.

This also included treating a serious injury caused by a chainsaw.

Lenggries - The accident had already occurred last Saturday.

Around 10.30 a.m. the report was received by the mountain rescue service that a man had cut his left foot with a chainsaw while working in the forest at the Jauden car park, despite wearing safety shoes.

After medical care was provided by the emergency services, the injured person was flown to the accident clinic by the Christoph Murnau rescue helicopter.

Paraglider lands in the tree at Brauneck

Towards evening, a paraglider had difficulties starting and fell into a tree a few meters below the north start at Brauneck.

Since the pilot was able to free himself from his harness and descend unharmed, the Lenggries mountain rescue service together with the Munich and Wolfratshausen mountain rescue services stationed at Latschenkopf set about recovering the parachute from the tree.

"Since the patient required dialysis, action had to be taken quickly," reports mountain rescue service spokeswoman Lina Feile.

The operations manager alerted the rescue helicopter Christoph Murnau, who dropped off his medical team at the scene.

He then fetched more members of the Lenggries Mountain Rescue Service from the valley and also used a winch to set them down at the scene.

The 85-year-old, who was already receiving medical treatment, was made transportable by the rescue workers and pulled up to the helicopter with the winch.

The helicopter took him to the Tölz hospital.
