On Monday, a 67-year-old woman got lost during a hike to the Sofienalpe in the Vienna Woods.

Officers from the police dog unit, drone operators, and officers from the Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus city police command searched for the hiker, who became increasingly panicked and was unable to provide the emergency services with any clues to her whereabouts despite multiple contacts via mobile phones.

Extensive Search Operation

An extensive search operation was also launched because dusk was setting in and it began to rain heavily, according to police spokesman Philipp Haßlinger on Tuesday. After about two hours, the woman was found in the evening in a densely wooded area off a hiking trail near Hadersdorf. She declined treatment by an emergency service and was picked up by relatives.
