HALLSTATT – Without via ferrata equipment and only equipped with sport sandals, three Chinese tourists took the Echernwand via ferrata to Hallstatt (Gmunden district) on Friday afternoon. He came as he was to come: the mountain rescue brokered the family, a 57-year-old with his daughter (27) and son (12).
Father and son took off
A Czech mountaineer was halfway attentive tourists and informed his wife in the valley. This turned to the employees of the funicular to the salt worlds, these alarmed mountain rescue. Eight men left on the way. They found the tourists in the so – called panoramic scale and provided the three missing equipment. The scared father and son were roped at the entrance of the via ferrata. The girl could be accompanied until the exit.
"Without the intervention of the Czechs, the three would have certainly increased.The climb becomes more difficult at the top and overlooks," said Dieter Eder, Ortsstellenleiter of the Mountain Rescue Hallstatt. It was also irritating that the father, after the rescue, proudly reported that he had arrived at halfway up the climb. However, this gave him a pump from an official, so Eder.
At an individual case he had but did not act in the use. Two years ago, rescuers had to save a Dutch tourist in sandals. At that time, the man probably did not read the information panel at the entrance and ventured so far into the path that he was unable to move forward or backward.
