Münchnerin sacrifices her life in the desperate attempt to save dogs

Häselgehr, Österreich - A tragic hike ended fatally for a 43-year-old from Munich in the Tyrolean mountains. The incident occurred when the woman was trying to save her dog. As antenne.de , the hiker crashed on May 30, 2025 after she slipped on wet grass. It dropped 80 meters above a partially vertical area and overturned several times during the fall.

The emergency doctor, who was brought to the scene of the accident with a rescue helicopter, could only find the death of the woman. The Munich woman was part of a four -person hiking group near Häselgehr on the way to the Grießbachalm. Two dogs also belonged to the group and ran without a leash on the hiking trail.

The tragic incident

The incident took its course as one of the dogs ran towards a slope. The woman was panicking and hurried afterwards, but the animal fell down a waterfall. In order to follow the dog on her buttocks over a steep slope, the hiker lost the hold on the slippery grass and crashed. Fortunately, the dog survived the incident, as the police confirmed.

This tragic accident is not the only incident in the Austrian mountains in the past few days. On May 26, 2025, just a few days earlier, a five -member hiking group in the Wilder Kaiser got into mountainousness and had to be saved by an emergency call. On the same day, tragic accidents were recorded in other areas, including the finding of five ski tourers who had died in Valais, and the rescue of seven hikers at the preaching chair in the Lattengebirge, such as alpin.de reports.

The latest events in the mountains show the dangers that hikers and mountaineers are repeatedly exposed. Complications from weather conditions as well as under demand and inadequate preparation are also factors that repeatedly lead to tragic accidents. A 44-year-old ski mountaineer died, for example, on Montblanc after suffering a column. These incidents make it clear how important it is to always be attentive and well prepared when hiking and mountaineering.

The mountain rescue and security services strongly recommend information about the routes and weather conditions and never go into the mountains unprepared. Despite the tragedies, the fascination for the mountains remains unbroken. Nevertheless, it is essential to correctly assess the risks and always be careful.
