Young Men from Vienna Got into Mountain Distress in Styria

Two young Viennese were rescued from an alpine emergency in the Upper Styrian district of Bruck-Mürzzuschlag by alpine police, firefighters, and police officers on Saturday afternoon. The two - aged 17 and 16 - were able to make an emergency call via mobile phone, then the connection broke off. Around 40 emergency personnel set out, and a mobile phone location was initiated. The two were brought down to the valley - soaked and hypothermic, the police reported on Sunday.

Teenagers from Vienna got into alpine emergency

The two teenagers made an emergency call shortly before 5:00 PM, which reached the state police control center. They had gotten into trouble in the alpine terrain in the Greith-Turnau area. The contact broke off, and a renewed attempt to contact them was unsuccessful. Additionally, the two were unable to provide their exact location. Around 40 emergency personnel set out towards Greith. One of the teenagers finally managed to briefly establish mobile contact and transmit GPS coordinates of their location. They were found there around 6:30 PM. They had been hiking since 11:00 AM and had become increasingly exhausted in the rainy weather. According to the alpine police, they also had inadequate equipment.
