A cow seriously injured a 76-year-old woman on Saturday afternoon near Grainau, in southern Germany.
She was walking with her husband on a farm track that crosses a pasture used by grazing cows.
The cow suddenly charged and knocked her down with its horns, and the cause of the attack was not clear.
The woman was treated at the scene before a rescue helicopter flew her to a trauma clinic in Murnau.
Cow attacks can cause severe injuries because the animals are large and can move quickly.
The German Alpine Club advises walkers to stay on paths, keep 20 to 50 metres from cows and give more space to herds with young animals.
