After two helicopters in Kleinwalsertal had to rescue a group of 99 German students and their eight teachers who had suffered mountain distress late Tuesday afternoon, the waves rose.
“The low shoe teachers in Austria should receive additional training to take responsibility for children,” says krone.at user “Noriker”, who also demands that the German state pay the rescue costs for the 107-strong group from Maxdorf near Ludwigshafen on the Rhine.
The “Krone” asked Martin Burger, head of the Vorarlberg mountain rescue service, whether the cliché of lowland tourists going hiking in flip-flops was just a prejudice. “In individual cases, this cliché is served, of course, but the statistics put a lot into perspective: Last year, 333 of our ground missions were for foreign tourists, 281 for local people – so it’s almost the same,” Burger puts in perspective.
