Police spokesman Florian Beck said: “She is alive, she is hypothermic and has been taken to the hospital.” Semecký told Bild: “When we saw her, we couldn’t believe our own eyes.  “Suddenly little Julia was standing in front of us, she was sitting about ten meters away in the tall grass. “It’s a miracle she survived. “She was shocked and asked about her parents. I have assured her that they are fine and that she would see them soon.” Rescue service spokesperson Maria Svobodova told Czech media that Julia was “conscious, cold and tired” but she was not hurt. The Czech police also confirmed the girl’s discovery on a Twitter post. The post read: “Excellent news, the little girl has been tracked down, she will now be handed over to the paramedics.” Josef Weindl the spokesman for the Upper Palatinate Police Headquarters told Tagesspiegel that the little girl is doing well and she remains in hospital. He had previously said that “For two days a child can survive without eating or drinking,” but what concerned them was the low temperatures.  “She must have been very skilled to do that,” Martin Semecky told the German Press Agency.
