On Saturday afternoon, a young foreign couple found themselves in serious trouble while hiking on Mount Biokovo, one of Croatia's most popular mountain ranges. The incident occurred near the area below the summit of Bukovac, above Baška Voda, where temperatures had reached approximately 36 degrees Celsius. According to reports from the Croatian Mountain Rescue Service (HGSS) station in Makarska, the couple was inadequately prepared for the conditions they faced—lacking proper hiking shoes, clothing, and sufficient water supplies. This combination of factors led to severe dehydration and exhaustion, which caused one member of the pair to become disoriented and unable to continue moving independently.
The situation escalated when the couple called for help around 9:30 PM. In response, the HGSS Makarska team deployed 16 rescuers using five vehicles to reach the stranded individuals. The rescue operation took place under challenging conditions, including extreme heat and difficult terrain. A drone was used to locate the distressed person, who was then given initial medical care before being transported via stretcher to an ambulance. From there, the individual received further treatment from the emergency medical services team. The entire operation concluded just after 2 AM when all rescuers returned safely to their base.
This was not the first time the HGSS Makarska team has had to intervene due to the effects of high temperatures and inadequate preparation among hikers. Over the past week, they have been responding almost daily to similar incidents involving tourists who underestimated the demands of the mountain environment during periods of extreme heat. The HGSS emphasized that these situations could have been avoided with better planning, appropriate gear, and realistic self-assessment of physical capabilities.
The incident highlights the growing concern over the number of hikers venturing into the mountains without proper equipment or knowledge of the risks associated with such activities. Despite repeated warnings from the HGSS and other authorities about the dangers of hiking in high temperatures, many visitors still choose to ignore these advisories. The use of drones and specialized rescue teams has proven essential in locating and assisting those in distress, but prevention remains the best strategy for ensuring safety on the trails.
In addition to the incident on Biokovo, another dramatic event unfolded on the island of Cres. A strong windstorm toppled a pine tree onto a camper van, trapping several tourists inside. Firefighters from the DVD Cres unit were dispatched to the scene and managed to free the occupants using chainsaws. They carefully removed the fallen tree, allowing the trapped individuals to exit the vehicle safely. Although the situation was tense, no injuries were reported, and the firefighters confirmed that there was no risk of fire or structural damage to the campsite. This incident underscores the unpredictable nature of outdoor environments and the importance of being prepared for unexpected challenges.
Both events serve as reminders of the need for increased awareness and education regarding the potential hazards of outdoor recreation. Authorities continue to stress the importance of carrying enough water, wearing suitable footwear and clothing, and understanding the limitations of personal endurance when engaging in activities in remote or harsh environments. As summer progresses and temperatures remain high, the call for responsible behavior among hikers and adventurers becomes even more urgent.

Net.hrNeodvisenSredinapred 7 dnevi V 36°C brez vode na Biokovu, HGSS reši mlad par v dramatični nočni akcijiČlanek poroča o dramatični reševalni operaciji, ki jo je izvedla Hrvaška gorska reševalna služba (HGSS) na območju Biokova na Hrvaškem. Mlad poročen par, ki so bili državljani različnih držav, je v soboto popoldne med vročim valom ostal brez dovolj vode med pohodom. Temperatura je dosegla približno 36 stopinj Celzija, par pa ni imel ustrezne pohodne opreme in podcenjeval težo terena. Postali so dehidrirani in dezorientirani, kar je povzročilo klic v sili v HGSS ob 21:30 uri. Šestnajst reševalcev je hitro prispelo s petimi vozili. Z uporabo drona so našli moškega partnerja, ki so ga nato zaradi hude izčrpanosti in nezmožnosti hoja prepeljali preko nosilnice v rešilnico. Žensko partnerko so reševalci že zdravili. Operacija se je končala v nedeljo zjutraj, reševalci pa so se vrnili v svojo bazo.
