Two Czech tourists were rescued in Georgia, one of whom had become traumatised at a height of 2200 metres in the mountainous area of Svaneti (Western Georgia). One of the tourists became petrified on the hillside of the Chatini Mountain and was unable to move.

The other tourist managed to contact Operations Control Centre on '112' after which a special unit was sent to search for them.

Rescuers found them after a few hours and helped them back down.

One of the tourists was immediately sent to Mestia hospital in a helicopter. The doctors assessed her state as satisfactory.
