24-Year-Old Poorly Equipped on the Rax: In Mountain Distress

During a mountain tour over the Preinerwandsteig to the Preinerwand, the woman could not continue at an altitude of 1,700 meters, according to the police. Her companion made an emergency call, and the recreational athlete was then rescued from the alpine terrain by helicopter using a rope. The operation by the alpine and air police will be charged to the uninjured Hungarian woman.

The 24-year-old and her acquaintance apparently did not familiarize themselves with the difficulty and length of the tour before their departure on Monday morning, the police emphasized in a statement on Tuesday. They are also considered inexperienced hikers. After the woman's rescue, her companion managed to descend independently.
