Ferred moment in Oberperfuss: Wanderer screams for camera loss!
On Sunday evening, September 15, 2025, around 7:10 p.m., the Roßkogel's area in Oberperfuss had a large -scale operation by the police and rescue workers. Witnesses reported a dull bang and loud screaming, which immediately triggered the concern and prompted the police to first assume an accident. Due to these alarming reports, several police patrols and alpine police officers were mobilized, and the police helicopter "Libelle Tirol" took the search out of the air.
At around 9 p.m. the operations management received a positive decision: a 58-year-old German hiker was found. The hiker accidentally lost his SLR camera while taking pictures of the sunset, which put him in a state of frustrating excitement that had triggered the scream. So these were not the result of an accident, but an expression of his fright and frustration. The camera had a value in the low five -digit euro range. The helicopter was already in use when the camera was recovered. Fortunately, the man was unharmed and was able to return to his car at the Inzinger Alm.
