A Polish tourist sustained a shoulder injury after slipping on snow near Téry Hut in the Slovak Tatras mountains. Mountain rescue teams and helicopter emergency services responded to assist the injured hiker. Mountain rescue officials emphasized that despite the summer season, large snow fields persist at higher elevations in the Tatras, creating hazardous conditions for hikers. The Tatras, shared between Slovakia and Poland, are a popular hiking destination but require careful preparation due to rapidly changing alpine conditions even during summer months.
