A landslide occurred on Saturday in Böckstein (Bad Gastein) above a power station. Boulders smashed through nets, but there was no damage to the buildings. The provincial geologist was on site.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The incident occurred in Böckstein on Saturday morning: around 5000 tons of rock came loose, causing an entire slope to slide. Some protective fences and rockfall nets were damaged by the enormous force. "The nets were unable to hold back the individual blocks weighing up to 30 tons," says regional geologist Gerald Valentin. However, the power plant buildings remained undamaged.
The police helicopter took the state geologist to the crash site on Saturday. He gave the all-clear: as large parts of the material had already slipped away, there was no longer any acute danger.
It is now being discussed whether the safety measures in the area should be extended.
