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.
An unknown, suspicious object suddenly protruded from the stones on the right bank of the Salzach between Marko-Feingold-Steg and Müllnersteg on Saturday. A grenade? The police of the city of Salzburg moved out and quickly cordoned off the area. The emergency services were further alerted shortly after 8 p.m. The Red Cross and professional fire brigade were quickly ready. The operation was over just after 9 p.m. The explosives expert organ (SKO) had carefully recovered the object, carefully stowed it away and transported it away. Due to sediment dredging work, it is likely to have come further and further to the river surface. Now all the way to the top. For the numerous visitors to Rupertikirtag, some of whom were already on their way home because of the rain, there was no way through at Elisabethkai for around an hour.
