Police Helicopter And Rescuers Called In To Save Tourist Who Attempted To Climb Steep 7,000ft High Dobratsch Mountain While Wearing FLIP-FLOPS
A tourist had to be rescued from a mountainside via helicopter after she attempted to climb the 7,109ft-high Dobratsch Mountain in flip-flops.
Maria Schneider, 23, from Vienna, was trying to hike the peak, near Villach, Austria, when she got stuck and was unable to go any further.
And she was also unable to get back down due to her unsuitable footwear.
When rescuers arrived on the steep mountainside they also found Schneider was not dressed for the walk correctly and did not have any warm clothing nor Alpine equipment with her.
A police helicopter, eight mountain rescuers, and an Alpine policeman were used in the rescue.
