Overview
- A 25-year-old woman from Berlin died after a roughly 70-meter fall near Mayrhofen in Tirol on Sunday, according to police.
- She and her 26-year-old companion were navigating an unmarked route by phone when they entered a slippery, steep slope and attempted to turn back.
- The companion called for help and was hoisted out by helicopter uninjured, while a notary doctor later confirmed the woman's death at the scene.
- Hours later near Hinterer Gosausee, a 32-year-old tourist from China fell about 20 meters into the lake and was pulled to shore by a 43-year-old eyewitness before a helicopter winch recovery.
- Mountain rescue teams lowered her two companions safely to the lakeshore without injuries, and the injured woman was flown to the hospital in Schwarzach im Pongau as authorities document both incidents.
