Yesterday at 22:39 it was reported that two people had gotten lost in the forest near the town of Skole.
Rescuers of the Slavske Search and Rescue Group, employees of the Skole Beskydy National Park and the police went in search of them.
A concerned daughter asked for help – her 73-year-old mother, a local resident, had gone for a quiet hunt in the afternoon, but when she realised she could not get out of the forest on her own, she called her daughter. At first, a relative went to help the older woman and managed to find her. However, as it was already dark, the man lost his bearings and as a result, they both got lost again.
Partial telephone communication was maintained with the lost people.
Thus, at 23:55, the mushroom pickers were found in a forest near Chudylivyi Potok, about 5 km from Skole. The people were tired, but did not need medical assistance.
The rescuers once again remind about the need to be responsible when going to the forest.
