12 September | Hrebienok Mountain Hostel | exclusively for staying guests
What does a real rescue operation in the mountains look like? What does searching for a missing person involve, and how do mountain rescuers and their four-legged companions work? Come and take a behind-the-scenes look at their work.
During the afternoon, our guests will have the opportunity to experience first-hand how a search for a person in mountainous terrain is carried out, with the participation of mountain rescuers and search-and-rescue dogs. The programme will also include a demonstration of first aid and CPR, as well as the transport of an injured person using KONG rescue stretchers. In the evening, an engaging presentation will take you behind the scenes of rescue operations not only in the Slovak mountains, but also into the experiences and stories of rescue missions in Venezuela.
An evening full of practical demonstrations, fascinating stories and encounters with people who provide help where ordinary assistance often reaches its limits awaits you.
Look forward to:
The program also includes a lecture and discussion with canine handlers about mountain rescue operations, complemented by screenings of short authentic videos from real rescue missions.
