On Sunday, the flood situation also worsened in the federal capital: the Vienna River swelled so high that it burst its banks and houses, streets and even subway lines were flooded. kroone.at has put together the most spectacular photos for you.
The river of Vienna
The Vienna River had already reached a critical level during the night. Instead of a stream, it has now taken on the dimensions of a raging river. The collection basins of the Vienna River are now full – it flows uncontrolled through the city center.
Penzing
There were floods in Penzing and some buildings can only be reached by boat. According to eyewitnesses, the quay on the Vienna River at Hütteldorf was closed.
Danube Canal
The water level in the Danube Canal also rose enormously. The adjacent Schottenring station and the Schottentor/Universität station were inaccessible on Sunday. According to a spokesman for MA 45 (Vienna waters), the situation in this water is under control.
New Danube/Danube Island
Areas along the New Danube are also flooded, but these paths are already designed to be submerged during floods.
The rain is expected to stop by Monday at the latest and there are already slight peaks in the flood levels. krone.at continues to provide up-to-date information on the flood situation throughout the country.
