Kochel am See – During the Christmas holidays, two serious mountain accidents challenged the volunteers at the Kochler mountain rescue service.
On Epiphany, a hiker fell heavily at midday on the Herzogstand.
As the mountain rescue service writes on its Facebook page, the man was on the hiking trail between Fahrenbergkapelle and Herzogstandhaus.
There he fell on the icy path so badly that he suffered a serious thigh injury.
With the support of the "Christoph Murnau" helicopter, the patient was treated and taken to a hospital.
Six emergency services were deployed for the Bergwacht Kochel.
The Bergwacht Kochel points out that the hiking trails can currently be heavily icy.
This should be taken into account when planning the tour and equipping it.

Already on the day before New Year's Eve, the rescuers had been heavily challenged.
Shortly after 2 p.m. on the H2 hiking trail, a woman fell 80 meters in front of her family, the mountain rescue team also reports on their Facebook page.
