They both looked cold, but in good spirits. They receive a warming blanket from the dog handler and will be followed by the health staff. The police thank all the volunteers for their excellent work.
The Sør-East Police District reports this just before 01:00 on Saturday night.
The police also write that the two were found by the equipment of the Norwegian Rescue Dogs.
The woman in her sixties and her niece did not return to the cabin where they were staying at the agreed time. An extensive research operation was therefore initiated.
A search was carried out with a boat, dogs and two helicopters for the two in the Svanstul hiking area and cabin in the north of Skien.
– Darkness and poor coverage are a challenge
Southeast police operations leader Sondre Dahl told NRK on Friday night that 12 dog teams were in place and fine with the search teams.
– Darkness and poor mobile coverage are a challenge, but otherwise there are good conditions to look in, he says.
The police set up a command vehicle in Svanstul and were ready to search at full speed all night. However, the two were found just before 01:00.
Police announced on Twitter that they had started a search for a woman and a child shortly after 9pm on Friday night.
