On Wednesday evening, thunderstorms with heavy rain led to mudslides in the Pinzgau region.

The municipalities of Bruck an der Glocknerstraße and Taxenbach were particularly affected. According to initial information, no one was injured. Efforts are being made with high pressure to restore safety, said Manfred Höger, disaster protection officer of the district administration Zell am See, on Thursday morning in response to an APA inquiry. The cleanup work will take several more days.

Mudslides in Pinzgau

Water, mud, debris, uprooted trees, and soil have damaged roads and houses. In the Bruck district of St. Georgen, several properties are affected. The houses are still habitable, "one building is currently only accessible on foot," Höger described. An access road in the Griesergraben area was closed due to mudslides. Members of the local volunteer fire departments and employees of the torrent control are on duty.
