Hiker Rescued After Wild Boar Encounter in German Forest

A 24-year-old woman sleeping in a hammock called police when surrounded by wild boars, later injuring her ankle in the commotion.

A 24-year-old woman from Hesse was camping in the Rheinbrohl forest near Koblenz when wild boars surrounded her hammock late at night.
The woman called the police for assistance, prompting officers and a hunter to respond to the scene.
By the time authorities arrived, the wild boars had already left the area, but the woman was safely escorted out of the forest.
During the incident, the woman accidentally stepped into a hole, suffering a ligament injury that required medical attention.
The police humorously noted that the phrase 'Schwein gehabt'—typically meaning 'lucky'—did not apply to the woman's ordeal.
