After a rockfall on Thursday evening near Rossatzbach, a part of Rossatz-Arnsdorf (Krems district) in the Wachau, the Aggsteiner Straße (B33) was closed. No one was injured, police spokesman Stefan Loidl reported upon request. On Friday, the state geologist is expected to assess the situation.

B33 Closed for Months Last Year After Rockfall

Compared to early June 2024, when around 6,000 cubic meters of rock with a weight of approximately 12,000 tons fell onto the B33 between the villages of Aggsbach-Dorf and Aggstein in the municipality of Schönbühel-Aggsbach (Melk district), the extent of the rockfall near Rossatzbach is significantly smaller according to the state. The affected section of the federal road and the Danube cycle path was closed for months at that time. After extensive work, the B33 was reopened this March.
