In the evening hours of July 28, 2026, the lifeless body of a foreign national was found in difficult-to-reach terrain above the village of Klek, as reported by Metkovicnet. The search, which followed after the hiker did not return from the route, ended in the worst possible way.
As the portal has learned, the disappearance was reported by the victim's wife, who became concerned when he did not show up at the agreed time. Rescuers immediately launched a search, but unfortunately, the outcome was fatal.
According to sources familiar with the field operations, the man's body was discovered in a hilly and difficult-to-traverse area above Klek. The report was received earlier in the evening, and rescuers had hoped to find the hiker alive. However, the search ended in tragedy.
The police and relevant authorities are conducting an investigation to determine the circumstances of the accident. An official statement is expected to provide more details soon about the victim's identity, cause of death, and the course of the operation.
This tragic event serves as a reminder of the dangers of hiking, especially in the karst terrain that can be unpredictable. We extend our condolences to the family of the deceased.
