Waren (dpa/mv) – police officers and a ranger brought a couple who had lost their way while picking mushrooms in the Müritz National Park near Waren on Friday evening to their car. “Ultimately, after 2.5 hours of waiting in the complete darkness of the forest, both of them were able to perceive the headlights and the blue lights of the crew,” the police said. A 61-year-old and his 60-year-old wife could not find their way to their car.
The man had cell phone reception in the park and made an emergency call around 7:30 p.m. He then sent the officials the geo-coordinates of his whereabouts. With the help of a ranger who was familiar with the area, police officers approached the couple over the widely branched system of paths and impassable terrain with constant telephone contact. The officers then took both of them to their car in Speck.
