The Alpine police and the mountain rescue had to move to Hochlantsch (Styria) on Saturday evening. Two Hungarians (49 and 46) had misjudged a climb and called the emergency call completely exhausted.
The two men planned to climb the “Franz-Scheikl-Klettersteig” to the top of the Hochlantsch (1720 m) in the late evening. However, the two mountaineers must have completely misjudged this trek – they were progressing very slowly. At the last steep step they finally had to give up completely exhausted.

The exhausted Hungarians called at 02:40. Task forces from the mountain rescue service Mixnitz and the Alpine Police Hochsteiermark first climbed to the top of the Hochlantsch and then via ferrata to the people in need. The Hungarians could then be led to the exit by the rope. The 49 and 46-year-old were unharmed. At 07:00 they were back at their starting point.
