A Czech woman waited a month for rescue in a remote mountain cabin in New Zealand after her partner fell and died on a hiking trail, The Guardian reported.

It was reported that the woman was found at a warden’s hut on the famous Routeburn Track, which winds through a spectacular gorge in the mountains of Fiordland national park in the South Island.

According to her, the couple started the walk on 26 July. In a day the man fell down a steep slope. She managed to go down to him, but he died from injuries. Three days later, she managed to find a fortified cabin, where she was all the time.

Despite heavy snowfalls in the past month, she was found in good health by a search and rescue team after concerns were raised with police that the couple had not been heard from since late July.

“This is a highly unusual case,” Police Inspector Olaf Jensen said.

Local guides also called the incident “incredible” and call into question the version of the tourist

“I am flabbergasted, I don’t understand how this could happen. Even in winter there are teams of people walking parts of the track and staying in the huts,” general manager of Ultimate Hikes Queenstown Noel Saxonsaid.
