guest Author June 7, 2023 14:06

Nova Rock (June 7th-10th) promises a brilliant start to the Austrian festival season. Around 200.000 visitors are expected. The ÖAMTC will once again be on site with a mobile breakdown center this year to be able to provide rapid assistance in the event of an emergency. The Yellow Angels will thus prevent traffic jams caused by defective vehicles and enable concert guests to enjoy the festival to the full, even if they have a breakdown. From Wednesday, June 7th, 09:00 a.m., to Sunday, June 11th, 12:4 p.m., the ÖAMTC breakdown assistance team will be on hand to offer visitors advice and assistance. Travel tips - traffic jams to be expected on the A4 In order to make the journey as smooth as possible, a sophisticated travel concept has proven itself for years, and this year it has also been optimized for possible bad weather events. Traffic jams will still be inevitable during peak travel times, warn the ÖAMTC traffic experts. The East Autobahn (A4) is the direct access to the festival site. For all those driving from Vienna city center to Nova Rock, a construction site note: Erdberger Lände will be closed towards the A7 from Wednesday night (June 22th, 00 p.m.) to Monday (June 12th, 04 a.m.). Traffic will be diverted locally via the side lane and Ludwig-Kößler-Platz, and there may be significant traffic jams. It is therefore advisable to use the Donauufer Autobahn (A00) and Tangente (A22) or Gürtel and A23 as a wide-ranging alternative. The Pannonia Fields can be reached from the A23 Nickelsdorf exit. If there is a large crowd, diversions will be made via the Mönchhof motorway exit if necessary. Attention, there is a two-way traffic area near Bruck an der Leitha Ost (A4). The ÖAMTC asks everyone to drive with particular foresight and to avoid

Jan Gruber June 7, 2023 12:47

The Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1 Plus business jet, registered in the Austrian aviation register as OE-FMD, was the latest victim of the latest generation of climate stickers at Westerland Airport in Germany. The aircraft was damaged by the stickers with orange paint. Four people from this group, who had illegally gained access to the apron, also stuck themselves to the wings. The business jet in question is registered to a private individual residing in Grevenbroich, Germany. The "last generation" climate stickers had illegally gained access to the apron, which is part of the security area, and then soiled the aircraft with a large amount of orange paint. They did not shy away from removing the engine covers in order to severely deface them too. Then at least four people stuck themselves to the wings with one hand each and held up a banner typical of this group. The following could be read on them: "Your luxury = our drought" and "Your luxury our crop failures". According to police reports, a total of five people are said to have gained illegal access to the apron. After the private jet was defaced, four of them were stuck to the wings. The fifth is believed to have taken the photo, which was then proudly distributed via the group's social media channels. The executive confirmed that, after consultation with the local aviation supervisory authority, the Schleswig-Holstein State Road Construction and Transport Authority, criminal investigations had been initiated against the five people for various alleged offenses. The amount of material damage caused to both the fence at Westerland Airport and the OE-FMD

Lawn mowing: Nuremberg Airport relies on sheep again

Jan Gruber June 7, 2023 12:08

This year, Nuremberg Airport is once again using a flock of sheep as "lawnmowers". This is intended to underline the airport's sustainability, as the animals feed naturally on grass and do not require propulsion. As in 2022, the meadows near the renaturalized Bucher Landgraben were grazed for several days by around 700 sheep from a neighboring sheep farm. The herd is scheduled to return in August. The use of animals promotes biodiversity: grazing and trampling create a mosaic of diverse habitats. These attract insects, which in turn are food for birds and bats.

Hikes: Alpine Club warns of the risk of falling on old snow fields

guest Author June 7, 2023 10:02

The temperatures are finally beginning to feel like early summer, and the hiking season has finally started after a cool spring. But despite the winter with little snow, the last remnants of avalanches are still lurking on some hiking trails in the mountains. The risk of falling on the hard-frozen and often steep snow surfaces is high, as several tragic accidents have already shown. The Austrian Alpine Association is reminding people of the right measures that mountain hikers can take to safely cross old snow fields. Old snow fields are treacherous and can easily persist into July. If sections of the trail are buried under them, hikers are faced with an obstacle. "Crossing the snow field with a few wobbly steps and carrying on - this approach often leads to serious accidents, such as on the Kitzbüheler Horn," warns Michael Larcher, head of the Alpine Association's mountain sports department. After just a few meters, when sliding down a 35-degree snow slope, you reach speeds that are no longer controllable. Even a less steep slope is enough to cause critical situations. "The old snow fields are often frozen solid. Once you start sliding, it is almost impossible to brake on the icy surfaces. Even if they do not seem that steep at first glance," explains Larcher. How can the risk of a fall be minimized? If a hiking trail crosses a steep old snow field, this could be a good reason to abort a mountain tour. If the snow surface is rock hard, the slope is very steep or there are no well-trodden tracks, alarm bells should already be ringing. If the hike continues and there is no way around it, there are a few safety recommendations to follow. "In order to be able to actually take steps when crossing a snow field, at least the
