Operation for the mountain rescuers on Friday in the imposing Kaiserklamm in the Tyrolean lowlands: A whitewater swimmer was injured during a guided tour. Moving on was impossible. Emergency services had to descend to the injured person and then take him out of the canyon via a narrow path.
The mountain rescue service in Kramsach and the surrounding area was alerted Friday afternoon for the demanding operation. A 35-year-old German whitewater swimmer sustained a foot injury while crossing the Kaiserklamm in the Brandenberger Ache. She was unable to continue the tour with the other participants.
Bad luck: there was no cell phone reception there. “A guide then had to climb out of the gorge and walk to the Kaiserhaus, where he could make an emergency call,” the mountain rescue team said.
Carried over a narrow path from the canyon
From the Kaiserklamm, the mountain rescuers had to abseil about 20 meters to the victim in the Ache. The 35-year-old German was then pulled up with a mountain stretcher. The next challenge was to carry the woman out of the canyon for several hundred yards over the narrow path.
The injured person was eventually handed over to the crew of the alarmed rescue helicopter and then flown to the hospital in Kufstein.
