Mountain Rescue Service Rescues Man from Mud in Kopački Rit

A mountain rescue service, obviously, does most of their work in the mountains, but if you find yourself in a situation where you’re waist-deep in mud in one of the flattest regions in Croatia, you can also count on them to help you! This is what happened today when around 12:25 pm the staff of the Kopački rit Nature Park informed the HGSS Station Osijek about the above situation.

He was considered to be in danger of further sinking into a deep layer of mud, the highest degree of urgency was determined for the intervention, and the two nearest rescuers immediately went to the location with an all-terrain vehicle, while the other rescuers were on standby. Access to the location was partly by boat and partly by inaccessible terrain. In a coordinated action by rescuers and rangers – nature park supervisors, the person was placed on a medical board using a rope and pulled to safe ground at 3:00 p.m.

This was an unusual, but not at all harmless rescue operation. Both the person in danger who managed to keep his composure, and the timely reaction and high motivation of the park rangers should be commended. The excellent cooperation between HGSS Station Osijek and PP Kopački Rit has been going on since the very foundation of the Station.
