Active Days for Mountain Patrol: Bustling Weekend for Alpine Security Personnel.
In the picturesque landscapes of Saxon Switzerland, the Mountain Rescue Service found itself busy over the weekend, responding to several incidents involving climbers and hikers.
On Sunday, a climber fell from the rock Daxenstein, sustaining serious injuries. The Mountain Rescue Service dispatched a rescue helicopter, along with a mountain rescue doctor, to attend to the fallen climber. The injured individual was carefully packaged in a "helicopter rescue mountain bag" with a vacuum mattress and brought to a meadow by winch, before being airlifted to hospital.
Meanwhile, another incident occurred at Lilienstein. A hiker fainted on the peak, and the Mountain Rescue Service, in collaboration with local emergency services, responded to the scene. The mountain rescue doctor was dropped off at the peak and, after the hiker was taken care of, was transported back to the base by helicopter. The hiker was then taken away by ambulance.
Yet another incident unfolded at Falkenstein, where a 60-year-old climber fell while abseiling. The rescue helicopter was once again called in, and the climber was brought to a meadow by winch before being airlifted to hospital.
The day before, on Saturday, a hiker injured her foot at Laasenhof in Rathen. The Mountain Rescue Service and local emergency services responded to the scene, and the hiker received necessary assistance.
Details about the condition or outcome of those who required assistance were not provided, nor were specific details about the next mission the rescue helicopter attended to in the Bielatal or any other incidents that might have occurred.
The hut service team from Rathen also responded to the incident on Lilienstein on Sunday, arriving by car and on foot.
While recent reports and comprehensive statistics specifically about incidents handled by the Mountain Rescue Service in Saxon Switzerland over the weekend were not readily available, regional safety measures were in place. For instance, Bohemian Switzerland National Park, neighbouring Saxon Switzerland, has a night entry ban due to fire risk, with recent firefighting efforts involving multiple units and a helicopter to control a forest fire near Rudolfův kámen.
