After talking to Austrian runner Katharina Zipser and an Austrian outdoor blogger BeRoSa GoGreen about their personal experiences in and with the mountains, for our next Good Morning Mountain Talk we met the two courageous mountain rescuers Klaus Manzl and Johann Strasser, who make the mountains a good bit safer day in, day out. Both are part of the selfless mountain rescue team Austria that is ready to give aid 24/7 on 365 days of the year in case of accidents in the Alpine region.
Mountain Rescuer Klaus Manzl
A bit of home and finding the way back to oneself in nature.
Rather summer, because it’s warm outside and less dangerous. However, winter is definitely appealing too.
Muesli with fruit and yoghurt.
Nuts, dried fruit and something to drink.
A lot – perseverance, to comprehend nature and to feel. It is important to gently show children what the mountains mean and what good they can do for them, as otherwise this will be forgotten by the younger generation. And also to achieve a goal that you’ve set yourself.
The fatal crash of a colleague.
In company, because it’s safer. Preferably with friends, fellow climbers or family.
Beach holiday in summer because of the heat, hiking trips in autumn.
The journey, because there are many hiking trails without a peak.
Mountain Rescuer Johann Strasser
Spending time outdoors.
Winter or summer – the mountains are always beautiful.
Preferably, I have a slice of bread with butter and jam or honey.
Nice weather, friends and a picture from the mountain peak!
Happiness and calm.
A powerful thunderstorm.
Preferably accompanied by my wife.
I prefer a hiking trip.
Both is important!
We’d like to thank Klaus Manzl and Johann Strasser for their time to answer our questions, but most of all for their tireless work in the mountains!
