"It will never be the same again": After the devastating floods, a Styrian family business in Kalwang is left with nothing. The fish farm built up over four generations has been ruined. Clean-up work continues. 

A week ago, all hell broke loose in the Styrian Liesingtal during the night. Heavy storms and torrential rain caused flooding and landslides. As reported, the Igler trout farm in Kalwang was hit particularly hard.
