Members of the Kolasin Protection and Rescue Service (SZS) and supervisors of the Biogradska Gora National Park (NP) last night found a three-member family from Israel lost in the area of the Biogradska Rainforest.
As the SZS told "Vijesta", three firefighters, rescuers and two supervisors participated in the action, which ended around 1.30:XNUMX a.m.
The tourists allegedly reached Biograd lake by car, and then went for a walk, off the marked paths, and during the hike they were caught in a storm. They tried to use shortcuts and in the evening got lost at the Krnjače - Strugovi location on very inaccessible terrain.
"We received a report that three people had lost their way from the Operational Communication Center (OCC) on Monday at 21.15:XNUMX p.m. We immediately went to the field and, together with the supervisors, located the lost tourists. The action lasted for several hours. Fortunately, the three Israeli citizens were unharmed and we managed to bring them back to the city safely," said SZS.
According to what "Vijesti" was told, the tourists went around the mountain inadequately equipped, in summer shoes and clothes and without a guide.
NP and SZS once again appealed to all those who go on hiking tours on the mountain not to do so without licensed guides.
"In addition, we urge them not to move outside the marked paths. It is also necessary that they are properly dressed and have water and food with them. By following these instructions, they will save themselves unnecessary inconveniences, which can have serious consequences, but will save and waste the resources of the services that embark on, usually, hours-long and arduous rescue operations," say firefighters and supervisors.
