Viennese Man Found After Ski Tour in Upper Styria

The Viennese man had traveled by train to Mürzzuschlag on Sunday morning. From there, he intended to go on a mountain tour to the 1,473-meter-high "Große Scheibe." When she couldn't reach him by phone, his wife alerted the emergency services at around 4:20 PM. Fifteen members of the Mürzzuschlag mountain rescue, officers of the alpine police, and the police helicopter "Libelle FLIR" began a search. Due to tracks found in the snow, the search area was extended to the Lower Austrian side of the border area. At around 8:15 PM, the ski hiker was encountered by a police patrol on the L136 in the Kalte Rinne - Adlitzgräben area in the municipality of Breitenstein (Lower Austria district Neunkirchen). He stated that he had gotten lost and was unable to use his mobile phone due to a technical defect.
