Boy, 11, Airlifted After 7-Meter Fall in Langenhennersdorf Rock Labyrinth

Authorities urge caution at the hazardous sandstone maze, now the focus of a police investigation.

Overview

  • The accident happened around 16:00 on Saturday during a children's birthday outing in the Felsenlabyrinth in Saxon Switzerland.
  • A child who witnessed the fall alerted parents, who called the Bergwacht and emergency services coordinated by the DRK Sebnitz.
  • Rescuers reached the crevice, stabilized the boy and the Christoph 62 helicopter flew him to a Dresden hospital.
  • Responders said the boy was conscious at the scene, though officials have not provided detailed updates on his condition.
  • Police are examining how the fall occurred, and the DRK warns the labyrinth is a recurring accident hotspot that is not a playground.
