A passer-by discovered explosives on a gravel bank of the Salzach on Sunday. The lock on the Elisabethkai in the city of Salzburg was lifted after an hour.
On the right bank of the Salzach between Marko-Feingold-Steg and Müllnersteg, an unknown, suspicious object suddenly protruded from the stones on Saturday. A grenade?
Salzburg City Police moved out and quickly cordoned off the area. The emergency services were further alerted shortly after 8 p.m. The Red Cross and the professional fire brigade were quickly ready. The operation was over just after 9 p.m. The explosives expert (SKO) had carefully salvaged, carefully stored and disposed of the object.
Kirtag visitors had to dodge
Apparently it was a grenade that had been in the Salzach for years. It has probably come further and further to the river surface due to silt dredging. Now all the way up.
The numerous visitors to Rupertikirtag, some of whom were already on their way home due to the rain, were unable to continue on Elisabethkai for about an hour.
