During a nature hike: a cow attacked a woman in Germany and seriously injured her

A 76-year-old woman was seriously injured after being attacked by a cow while hiking with her husband near the town of Grainau in southern Germany. She was airlifted to a hospital. Experts warn of encounters with cattle herds on hiking trails.

A 76-year-old woman was seriously injured after being attacked by a cow while hiking with her husband near the town of Grainau in southern Germany. The couple was walking on a farm path crossing pastureland when the cow gored her with its horns and knocked her to the ground. Due to the severity of her injuries, the woman was evacuated by rescue helicopter to a nearby trauma center. The incident in Bavaria serves as a reminder that encounters with cows can result in serious injuries. Last May, a 67-year-old hiker was killed in Austria after dozens of cows attacked her, and her husband was seriously injured. Experts explain that cows attack when humans enter their living space, especially in the presence of calves.
