The mild temperatures attract people from nature. They also make bad discoveries: Images on social media are currently circulating those dry Danube side arms and sandy desks. A consequence of the almost snow and rainless winter?
“On the border with Döling, in the Danube in Greifenstein. Damn water in the Danube! “With a Facebook message and two shock images of a stranded ship in a local Facebook group, a user causes discussions.” Not at all, “a user replies with a sad smiley, it is quickly discussed or too little rainfall is fault. Last winter was the driest in 28 years.
Current photos of Crisendorf (see below), also in Lower Austria and near Vienna, also seem to confirm the thesis: gray sand instead of soft green coasts and walk-in places that are otherwise flushed by the Danube water, even in the summer. So is the Danube really at a dangerously low position? The “Kroon” asked meteorologists and the DDSG.
“This winter has fallen to 95 percent less precipitation than normal,” explains Marcus Rubel, a Meteorologist from the Ubimet. Of course this also influences the water level of the Danube. The fact that the water level is low shortly before the snow melting occurs more often. However, this year there is hardly any snow on the mountains that can melt. The tributaries of the Danube in the Alpine Foothills and in the Mostviertel also move in the shallow. The drought already has a serious impact on nature. The risk of forest fires is increasing.
In the Danube itself, the situation is not as dramatic as the DDSG ensures: “Everything is reasonable, there are no restrictions.” The excursion gender would have little depth and could also get started with little water.
The flood is the fault
But how do the disturbing images come about? The explanation is that it is hardly believed, of all people from the flood of the past year. “It is too much mud and sand due to the flood 2024! It has already started with dredging the mass of sand and mud, “explains a user on Facebook – and so the goal is achieved completely.
