"Landfall" in the city
Dramatic pictures: Vienna in the grip of the floods
On Sunday, the flood situation also came to a head in the federal capital: the Vienna River swelled to such an extent that it overflowed its banks and flooded houses, streets and even subway tracks. krone.at has collected some pictures for you.
Vienna River
The Vienna River had already reached a critical level during the night. Instead of a small stream, it has now taken on the dimensions of a raging river. The catch basins for the Wien River are now full - it rushes unchecked through the city center.
Penzing
There was flooding in Penzing, some buildings can only be reached by boat. According to eyewitnesses, the quay near the Wien River at Hütteldorf was closed.
Danube Canal
The water level on the Danube Canal also rose massively. The adjacent Schottenring station and the Schottentor/Universität station could not be approached on Sunday. However, according to a spokesperson for MA 45 (Vienna Waterways), the situation on this stretch of water is said to be under control.
New Danube/Danube Island
Areas of the New Danube are also flooded - although these paths are destined to be flooded during flood events anyway.
The rain is expected to stop on Monday at the latest, and there are already slight crests in the flood levels. krone.at continues to provide up-to-date information on the flood situation throughout the country.
