| Tatras mountain rescue team in action | [ Sizes: Orig | Small | Thumb ] |
A boy fell some meters and broke his forearm just in steepest part of the trail to the saddle Bystre sedlo, just some meters below the saddle. They were just a 50 meters above us when it happened. The Tatras mountain rescue team were called for help. They did a good work. The dominating summit is Satan (2432 m). The date of the photo: 2nd august 2001.

Voted 10/10 | Bad luck! By the way, is that true, that helicopter rescue in Tatras costs about 5000 EUR? | | Posted Jan 15, 2007 1:06 pm |

Hasn't voted | Those times (in 2001) the mountain rescue was for free.
A helicopter rescue can cost that much now, there were some cases, when 4000-5000 EUR must have been paid for the helicopter rescue. | | Posted Jan 15, 2007 1:15 pm |
