The 60-year-old German drove his motorcycle to Haibach ob der Donau and then went to the nearby “Steinernen Felsen” viewpoint around 2 p.m. Since there wasn’t enough time, he walked to the town of Inzell, had a drink in an inn and then went back on a hiking trail up to the “Steinernen Felsen”. However, he strayed from the marked path and lost his orientation in the steep, impassable terrain. As darkness fell around 7:30 p.m., he called the police via emergency number.
A search operation was started together with the Haibach fire department and the responsible forest owner. A little later, the Sankt Marienkirchen an der Polsenz fire department and the height rescuers from FF Alkoven were also alerted. With the help of a drone, the 60-year-old was located in the steep terrain about 250 meters below the “Stony Rock”. The high-altitude rescuers descended and were able to rescue the man unharmed in his climbing harness down the slope to the Inzell freight road. The rescue was completed shortly after midnight.
