Polish tourist injured after falling from Kežmarský štít peak, airlifted to hospital

A Polish tourist was injured while climbing Kežmarský štít, one of Slovakia's prominent mountain peaks in the High Tatras range. The accident occurred when a rock block became loose, causing the climber to fall. Emergency services deployed a helicopter to transport the injured tourist to a hospital in Poprad, a city that serves as the main gateway to the Tatras mountains. The High Tatras, which form part of the border between Slovakia and Poland, are a popular destination for mountaineers and hikers from across Central Europe, though the rocky terrain and steep faces present significant climbing challenges.
