A pleasant hike through the alpine pastures ended in hospital for a 63-year-old Viennese man on Saturday. Despite the extremely bad weather, the man and a 64-year-old local had set off from Bodinggraben to the Schaumbergalm, which is located at an altitude of around 1,150 meters above sea level. The rain proved to be his undoing: at an altitude of around 790 meters above sea level, the 63-year-old slipped on the wet ground, lost his balance and fell down a slope.
According to the police, his injuries were so severe that he could no longer walk on his own. His companion called the emergency services. The mountain rescue service came to the injured man’s aid. After receiving first aid from the rescue service, the Viennese man was taken to a hospital, the police announced late on Saturday afternoon.
