Safety measures in Amstetten: Locking after slope slips partially lifted

In Amstetten, the heavy rains in September ensured considerable geological shifts in the Höllgraben area, especially on the Krautbergsteig. These changes led to slope slips that endangered the safety of pedestrians and thus made it necessary to block the entire area. After an in -depth examination and an updated expert opinion of the geological service of the state of Lower Austria, the locks for the Jakobsbrunnenweg and the adjacent allotment settlement can now be lifted.

The cancellation of these locks is a positive sign, but also illustrates the fragility of the situation. The Krautbergsteig remains closed for security reasons, since the risk of further slides and slope movements exists. The municipality of Amstetten therefore announces that the situation will be followed carefully. If future, strong rainfall occurs, a renewed assessment of the danger situation may be necessary, which could possibly lead to new closures.

basis for the decision

A crucial factor for the lifting of the locks was the renewed report of the geological service, which confirms improved stability of the affected areas. This enables the authorities to increase security for residents and visitors to the region, while the necessary precautionary measures are retained.

In addition to the Krautbergsteig, the cemetery dough will probably be closed until the end of the year, due to the ongoing work on the district heating network. The city administration appeals to all citizens to carefully observe the local signage and be careful in any case in order to avoid possible risks.

The exact observation of the weather conditions and the geological conditions will be of great importance in the coming weeks. The city community is required to keep up to date with current developments in order to be able to react quickly in the event of new weather events. Current information about the status of the locks and the city's care and construction work are communicated via the official channels.
