Knee injury near the Plesnivets hut

On the afternoon of October 17, 2026, a 55-year-old tourist contacted the operations center of the Mountain Rescue Service of Slovakia for help. During a mountain pass below the Plesnivecs hut, the woman experienced a sharp pain in her knee joint, which prevented her from moving further on her own.

Professional and volunteer rescuers from the regional branch of the HZS "High Tatras" arrived on the call. The specialists examined the tourist, provided emergency assistance, and transported her by SUV to the Tatra Valley, where they handed her over to her friends.
