Yesterday evening, two alpinists got lost during the descent from Mojstrovka. They were found before midnight, both fortunately unscathed.
Slovenske novice: Rescuers came for the lost alpinists.
Around 19:30, during the descent from Mojstrovka towards Vršič near Travnik and Šit at 2300 meters altitude, two alpinists got lost. They lost their way after separating. The alpinist with Romanian citizenship was found by GRS Bovec members at 22:30 near the source of the Soča River, the local at 23:15 on the slopes of Mojstrovka, as stated by the Administration for Civil Protection and Disaster Relief. Both alpinists are uninjured.
Otherwise, yesterday we reported on another accident in the Julian Alps. In the morning, mountain rescuers with the assistance of a Slovenian Army helicopter rescued three foreign mountaineers from the wall on Plamenica below Triglav, who had also been stuck at around 2300 meters since Tuesday afternoon.
The Hungarians, aged 23 to 26, dug a bivouac and spent the night in the wall. They too escaped uninjured.
