Another holidaymaker in Tyrol was attacked and injured by cows. On Thursday, a 65-year-old German was hit by a car while hiking in the Ausserfern. The man had to be flown to Reutte Hospital by emergency helicopter.
The 65-year-old German was out and about in the Heiterwanger Hochalm hiking and pasture area on Thursday afternoon when he was suddenly attacked and injured by two cows around 2:30 p.m., police said Friday.
The holidaymaker sustained injuries. After initial treatment on site, he was flown to Reutte Hospital by rescue helicopter. “The pasture and walking area is fenced off several times and marked with various signs about grazing cattle,” the police emphasize.

Such incidents are not uncommon, especially in Tyrol. Only late Tuesday afternoon, a holidaymaker from the Netherlands was attacked by a cow in Sölden in the Ötztal and seriously injured.
According to the police, the 27-year-old wanted to take a picture of the animal when it suddenly stood up and rammed its horn into the woman’s leg. The injured person was flown by helicopter to Zams Hospital.
