On Thursday, a 55-year-old mountain biker was rescued from the Erlauf after a fall in the Purgstall area in the Scheibbs district.
Around 10:30 a.m., the mountain biker was riding the Erlaufschlucht trail. When crossing a root, the front wheel apparently slipped to the side, causing him to fall down a steep embankment into the heavily flowing Erlauf.
