Difficult situation – swan with seven chicks rescued from highway

Date:

Last weekend a family of swans got lost on the busy B37a near Hollenburg in the Krems district. Seven chicks were rescued, but for one animal no help came too late.

On Saturday, the emergency services of the Krems an der Donau fire brigade were called to an animal rescue on the B37a near Hollenburg. A swan and its chicks got lost on the busy road.

When the Florianis arrived, the police were already on the scene and the street was closed off to allow for a safe rescue. Animal protection was also present and provided dog boxes. The swan – the ‘parent’ of the chicks – initially wanted to avoid a rescue. A delicate situation for the emergency services. Eventually they were able to bring the frightened animal to safety.

The rescued swan family was transported to a body of water in Hollenburg. After a short health check, they were released again.
