Flood risk: Traisen bike path remains closed to cyclists!

Herzogenburg, Österreich - In Herzogenburg, an unauthorized removal of police lines ensures concern. On Wednesday, City Councilor Martin Hintegger and Wolfgang Schatzl became aware of the lack of barriers at the access to the Traisenradweg, which was badly damaged by floods. The barriers have been set up to ensure the security of the citizens, as the path is still dangerous. "However, the municipality and the building authority do everything they can to ensure security, but also find that there are always unauthorized interventions," said city office director Dominik Neuhold. The repairs on the bike path caused by massive sub -flushing are expected to take several months, so that there is still a risk of accidents.

As Hinteregger emphasized, the Traisenradweg is not safe to be used towards St. Pölten. "There is a lack of fall protection and the barriers are not always," he warned. The city appeals to the citizens not to ignore the barriers and to take the dangers seriously. The police arrangements were set up to prevent access to the dangerous places. However, despite these security measures, some residents repeatedly try to use and remove the grids, which also makes the entire Situation complicated. A collective awareness of security is crucial here, and Neuhold emphasizes that the community is asking for support from the citizens.

On the banks of the Traisen, the Traisental cycle path offers numerous options for relaxing excursions, but the dangerous areas of the route are a great risk. The popular bike path extends over 111 km and attracts numerous cyclists and families who want to enjoy the beauty of the landscape area. The responsible persons remind you to caution and advise you to avoid the danger zones. Delicious excursion destinations, shady Heurigen and refreshing bathing spots are still available, but cycling children and ambitious athletes are advised to completely bypass the blocked areas while the repairs are ongoing.
