Taken to hospital
The weakened and dehydrated 32-year-old was taken to hospital. She had been out in the forest on the night of Saturday to Sunday when the water continued to rise. Around midnight, she was able to call the fire and rescue service control center on her cell phone, said police spokesman Holger Stabik. In addition, an acquaintance of hers had reported her missing to the police.

After that, the woman could no longer be reached by cell phone, possibly because the battery was empty. The helpers began the search. After the emergency call, the woman was able to save herself in the crown of a fallen tree. She then waited day and night in the tree crown, around two meters above the water. When the emergency services finally found her, the flood was still about chest-high under the tree.
