Solving the mystery surrounding the explosion of a bonfire in the Prandegg ruins in the Mühlviertel region of Upper Austria is like solving a jigsaw puzzle. The investigators have taken an important step forward and have narrowed down the cause to a war relic. A huge effort is being made to clarify its origin.

The good news: all the injured people (30 to 50 years old) who were hit by metal and stone splinters ten days ago when a campfire exploded at the campsite next to the Prandegg ruins (municipality of Schönau/M.) are back home, and there is no permanent damage. One woman's glasses probably saved her eyesight, and one injured person underwent two eye operations.
