On December 21, while the final preparations for the concert were taking place on stage of Theater Hall, some spectators were caving towards the stage, a DINPI adventure tour for non-caver enthusiasts was climbing in direction to the surface. Towards the end of the tour, during a climb, one of the hikers got injured, his shoulder was dislocated. This type of injury is normally very painful and makes it impossible to leave the cave without help safely.

In this case, for the visitor in trouble, this type of injury was not the first case, so he had moderate pain, no other trauma, he was in good general condition, when the thinking of how to rescue him began. They didn't have to go far, because there were several rescuers present in the cave among the audience and the members of the Speleo Band, so we rushed to the aid of the injured man in the guise of the Cave Rescue Service, we were able to carry out one of the fastest evacuations in our history.

Given the good condition of the injured man, the proximity of the exit, and the easy cave terrain, we developed an assisted rescue plan that worked even with a limited number of rescue resources.

Two hikers set out from Dobogokő around noon on Tuesday 8 October to hike one of the most visited trails in the Visegrád-hegység, the Rám-szakadék. According to locals, they were preparing for a 4-hour hike, which turned out to be a lot more in the end.

They successfully completed the demainding route and then lost the signs of the hiking trail when they emerged from the gorge and got lost around 6 pm. Tired and unable to find their way back to the hiking trail on their own, they called a friend who contacted the Hungarian Cave Rescue Service (BMSz) incident manager around 7 pm.

Fortunately, with the help of the phone of the hikers, the incident manager was able to identify the exact location of the lost hikers and alerted two cave rescuers from Pomáz at 19:30. The cave rescuers set off shortly afterwards with food, hot drinks, headlamps and extra gear and then telephoned the lost hikers. Luckily they were close to the Hoffman-vadászház so the cave rescuers directed them there.

On Thursday morning, a rescue operation for a Czech cave researcher took place in the Alsó-hegy region. The caves of Alsó-hegy have been explored not only by generations of Hungarian cavers but also by Czech speleologists for several decades. Their work has provided us with extensive information and precise maps of many caves in the Alsó-hegy. They have made significant progress in several cave exploration, and in 2022, they discovered the currently 11-meter deep Éves-zsomboly. Each year, we eagerly read the summary of their team's work and peruse their monograph on the Alsó-hegy, published in both Czech and English language. 

This year's expedition camp was set up next to the Jég Cave in Komjáti, from where they conducted their research trips. 

In beautiful sunny weather many people were climbing on the via ferratas in Tatabánya on the morning of June 15 2024. The routes of different difficulty give everyone the opportunity to enjoy their free time from beginners to advanced.

One of our cave rescuers was on the scene on one of the routes - when he heard a call for help nearby. The request for help came from a young man who was stuck on the most difficult ("E" difficulty) "KATA" road.

His strength left him, he could not continue the way.
