Moose "Emil" is said to have swum across the Danube again

Moose "Emil" is obviously on his way north. According to an entry on the Facebook fan page and a "NÖN" report from Wednesday, the antlered animal has once again swum across the Danube. His sighting was also reported in Klein-Pöchlarn. The small market town in the Melk district is located north of the river.

Moose "Emil" on Tuesday in Melk

The hype around "Emil" in Lower Austria is now entering its fourth week. On Tuesday, the moose was on the move in Melk, among other places, where he not only provided photo opportunities with the famous abbey in the background but also, as recently in St. Pölten, prompted a police operation.

The "adopted Lower Austrian" has now explored the districts of Mistelbach, Korneuburg, Tulln (where he arrived in Klosterneuburg at the end of August after swimming across the Danube for the first time, note), St. Pölten, and Melk, as well as the state capital itself. If "Emil" actually moves north, the districts of Zwettl and Gmünd or Waidhofen a.d. Thaya would be next. His Facebook fan page already had more than 12,000 members as of Wednesday.
