The woman died at the scene, and her husband was taken to the hospital with serious injuries.
According to the Austrian Alpine Club's accident database, this was the fifth fatal cow attack in the Austrian mountains since 2005.
Two hikers encounter an aggressive group of cows in eastern Tyrol. A "middle double-digit number" of animals attacks the couple on a pasture. A 67-year-old is killed by the attack.
In Oberlienz (Tirol), a cow herd attacks a couple: a woman (67) dies, her husband (65) is seriously injured. Now the police are investigating.
Time and again there are incidents between man and cattle - sometimes with a dramatic outcome. In order for neither hikers nor animals to be harmed during the alpine crossing, one should observe some rules.
The couple, originally from the area, were on a trail along a river near a pasture where about 50 cows were gathered.
