A 77-year-old German tourist is dead after she was attacked by cows while hiking through a pasture in the Swiss Alps. The woman was taking a shortcut through a fenced-off area, and there was a sign warning people to avoid the cows. The bizarre incident occurred near Laax, in the canton of Graubunden, as the woman was walking to the Grauberg gondola station from a restaurant. She passed through an electric fence and was knocked over and trampled by cows as they grazed on a trail, said police. The animals were apparently trying to protect their calves. A cyclist called for help and a doctor attended the scene, but the woman, from Berlin, died at the scene despite attempts to resuscitate her.
