Search and rescuers have carried a German tourist out of the Tararua Forest Park after she hit her head and knocked herself out.

The accident happened on Friday when the 31-year-old tripped on a tree stump in the Otaki Forks area, says Sergeant Andy Brooke, of Palmerston North police.

Her companions raised the alarm at around 11.30pm but bad weather prevented a helicopter picking her up so a team went in on foot and brought her out.

She is not thought to be seriously hurt.
