In less than 24 hours, three interventions in the mountains: the mountain fell, rolled 50 meters, then slid over two rocky edges

On August 4, 2026, three separate incidents occurred in the mountains within less than 24 hours. The most severe incident involved a 26-year-old woman who fell off a steep slope while hiking along an old military path known as 'mulatjeri.' She slid approximately 50 meters before falling over two rocky ridges with a height difference of 30 to 40 meters, sustaining serious injuries. Mountain rescuers from GRS Bovec and the emergency mountain rescue team from Brnik transported her by helicopter to the University Clinical Center in Ljubljana. Earlier that day, a 29-year-old German cyclist crashed into a rock on a rocky trail near Kobarid, fracturing his shoulder. He was treated by mountain rescuers from GRS Tolmin and then taken to a hospital in Šempeter pri Gorici. Shortly before this accident, a 47-year-old French paraglider had to make an emergency landing on the slopes of Krna due to a sudden gust of wind that caused his parachute to malfunction. He sustained minor shoulder injuries and was treated by GRS Tolmin rescuers before being taken to the same hospital.

A Swiss, an Italian, and a Slovak parachuted into a tree and escaped unscathed.

Three international paragliders – a Slovene, an Italian woman, and a Slovak man – successfully landed safely on trees after experiencing unexpected landings during their flights. The incidents occurred in different locations across the Tolmin area of Slovenia. In the first incident, a 34-year-old Slovak paraglider was found by mountain rescuers from the Gorski Resursni Sluzba Tolmin at around 1 PM, having landed on a tree and being safely lowered without injuries. Later, a 59-year-old Swiss paraglider, who lost altitude unexpectedly after takeoff near Kobal, landed on a tree and was also rescued without injury. Finally, a 32-year-old Italian female paraglider landed forcefully on a tree near Breginj, approximately 15 meters above ground level, and was also safely evacuated without any harm. All three individuals were assisted by local rescue teams using rope techniques and transported down the mountain.

Three rescues of parachutists in a few hours: all hanging from trees (PHOTO)

In a short period of time, Tolmin mountain rescuers responded to three separate incidents involving paragliders who became stranded in trees on challenging terrain in the areas of Tolmin and Kobariška. The first incident occurred at 13:07 when a 34-year-old Slovak paraglider got stuck in a tree above Mount Javorca in the municipality of Tolmin. Rescuers safely retrieved him using rope techniques and transported him down. Approximately an hour later, at 14:06, a 59-year-old Swiss paraglider landed on a tree after losing altitude during flight near Kobalo. He was also unharmed and successfully rescued by the Tolmin Mountain Rescue Service. The third incident took place at 16:15 when a 32-year-old Italian female paraglider had to make an emergency landing on the southern slope of Gabrovca near the Slovenian-Italian border. She was also unharmed and helped down by rescuers. All three incidents involved the use of rope techniques to safely extract the paragliders from the trees. Although none of the individuals sustained injuries, the incidents highlight the challenges of paragliding in difficult mountainous terrain and changing weather conditions.

The article discusses the increased number of rescue operations conducted by mountain rescuers in Slovenia during the current summer season, which coincides with a heatwave. On Tuesday alone, they responded to eight incidents, bringing the total number of interventions since the start of the year to 448, 74 more than in the same period last year. Between July 31 and August 3, there were 15 interventions, including seven helicopter rescues and two night operations. Last year, 374 interventions occurred in this timeframe, and 660 overall throughout the year. The article highlights that 50 people died in mountain accidents last year, including 15 foreigners. The main causes of accidents include slipping, unfamiliarity with terrain, poor physical condition, and inadequate equipment. Rescuers emphasize the importance of choosing appropriate trails early in the day, wearing proper gear, staying hydrated, and informing others about planned routes. They also stress the need for visitors to use updated topographic maps and travel in groups.

Rescue from lake, wild heat, evacuation of tourists and (still) no refreshments

A sudden change in weather on Sunday afternoon caught a group of young sailors of various nationalities, aged between 10 and 17 years, off guard near Riva del Garda. Strong winds and waves caused several of their boats to capsize, leaving the youths stranded in the water. Three rescue units saved a total of 22 young sailors, transporting them to the Torbole harbor where they received medical attention. According to the Italian news agency ANSA, the quick response prevented more severe consequences. Similar issues arose across Lake Garda due to strong winds and high waves. On Saturday evening, wind gusts created waves over a meter high, putting many recreational vessels at risk. Rescue teams responded to multiple calls for help throughout the night and early morning. Near the island of San Biagio, a boat carrying four adults and two children became stuck on rocks due to rough seas, with the risk of capsizing. Rescuers had to swim to the vessel to safely evacuate all six people. Meanwhile, three other boats faced difficulties near the coast of Manerba, requiring additional assistance.

Alarm at UKC Ljubljana! Only yesterday three helicopters landed with seriously injured

The article reports on an increase in helicopter landings at the University Clinical Center (UKC) Ljubljana's heliport involving severely injured individuals. It notes that three helicopters landed recently with seriously injured patients, contributing to a trend of higher numbers of severe injuries during the summer months. The report attributes this rise partly to high temperatures, increased fatigue due to heat, and subsequent impaired judgment or lack of caution during various activities. The UKC warns residents to avoid overexertion in extreme heat, especially in mountains, water, and when operating machinery. It also mentions that since summer began, more than 420 helicopters have landed at the heliport, with daily records of up to three landings involving injured individuals. Data from the Ministry of Defense indicates a similar upward trend in rescue operations by Slovenian Armed Forces (SV) and police helicopters, particularly in mountainous regions like the Julian Alps, Carniolan Alps, and Carpathians. Additional resources, such as an extra helicopter, have been allocated to support search and rescue efforts.

The University Clinical Center (UKC) Ljubljana has been treating over 200 injured patients daily at its emergency surgical block in the past eight days. Traumatologist Radoš Vidmar attributes this increase primarily to higher temperatures causing greater physical strain on individuals, leading to more injuries in mountainous areas due to dehydration, weakness, and collapses. The center typically sees a decrease in injuries during summer but has observed the opposite this year. In addition to mountain-related injuries, there have been cases involving traffic accidents requiring prolonged treatment.
