Heavy thunderstorms overnight caused a mudslide between the Pongau communities of Eben and Hüttau-Niedernfritz. The reason: a blocked culvert in a tributary of the Fritzbach stream.

Just after midnight on Thursday, the Katschbergstraße (B99) was flooded. A mudslide spread over a length of 150 meters, which also hit a nearby wood processing company. The fire department had their hands full, but were able to clear the road with excavators by 5:30 in the morning.
