Dresden Boy, 11, Seriously Injured in 7-Meter Fall at Langenhennersdorf Rock Labyrinth

He was flown to a Dresden hospital by the Christoph 62 rescue helicopter.

Overview

  • The fall happened around 16:00 on Saturday in the Felsenlabyrinth Langenhennersdorf during a children's birthday outing.
  • Another child witnessed the accident and raised the alarm, with initial reports saying parents alerted emergency services.
  • Mountain rescuers reached the boy in difficult terrain, stabilized him on a stretcher, and prepared him for evacuation.
  • The Christoph 62 helicopter from Bautzen transported him to a Dresden clinic, and he was reported to be responsive at the time.
