Storm Operations in the Krems District: Dürnstein Heavily Affected

Volunteers also responded in St. Leonhard am Hornerwald, Rossatz, Unterbergern, Mauternbach, and Egelsee.

Unexpectedly Strong Thunderstorm

It was an unexpectedly strong thunderstorm, which, according to several residents and the operations manager, fire department commander Michael Pfaffinger, initially passed over the city and then returned with hail and heavy rain, reported the Krems district command. In Dürnstein, the area around the train station was particularly affected. A road was flooded with mud, debris, and tree remains. Some adjacent gardens and garages were also flooded. The operation was supported by the FF Krems main station and Egelsee.

Wachaubahn Back on Full Route from Tuesday

Due to a landslide in the area of the Dürnstein tunnel and local flooding in the city of Dürnstein, the Wachaubahn could not operate on the Krems - Weißenkirchen section on Monday. Since the earth masses were quickly removed, operations will resume on the full route Krems - Emmersdorf on Tuesday, announced Transport Provincial Councilor Deputy Governor Udo Landbauer (FPÖ) and the NÖVOG.
