BERCHTESGADEN, Germany, June 23 (UPI) -- An American woman was rescued from a mountain in Germany after she used her size DD bra to get the attention of nearby loggers, officials said.

The 24-year-old Colorado woman had been missing for three days before her a helicopter crew spotted her colorful sports bra, the Daily Mail reported Monday.

The woman said she attached the bra to a cable used for moving logs down the mountain.

The woman received injuries to her skull, ankle and shoulder when she lost her footing while hiking in the Bavarian Alps close to Berchtesgaden, Germany, the report said.

"Hanging the bra out saved her life because a logger saw it, heard about the search for a missing woman, and called mountain rescue," Police Chief Adolph Gunther said.

Officials said the woman is expected to make a full recovery.
