On Wednesday evening, there was a search operation in the Lower Austrian district of Gänserndorf for an 84-year-old who had gotten lost during a forest walk. The hypothermic man was found and rescued by the police.
The pensioner had gotten lost during a forest walk and could not find his car anymore. He called a friend who then alerted the police. The man from the district of Gänserndorf was found in Bad Schönau, a part of Groß-Enzersdorf. "The man was hypothermic, but otherwise in good health," the police reported on Thursday in a press release.
"The search was extremely difficult due to the onset of darkness, the winter weather conditions, and the rugged terrain," it was said. A drone and a service dog were also used in the operation.
