A woman fell into the Neisse in Görlitz while checking the water level. Presumably out of recklessness, the 46-year-old stepped too close to the flooding river at the Parkhotel Merkur on Sunday evening and fell in, according to the police.
She had floated almost a kilometer in the Neiße until she was able to pull herself out of the water just before the Vierradmühle weir. A witness called an ambulance. The 46-year-old was taken to a clinic with hypothermia.
