Austria is facing severe weather conditions, leading to widespread disruptions in railway services.

Heavy snowfall and rain have caused trees to fall on tracks, particularly affecting the Tauern route between Bad Hofgastein and Bad Gastein, which remains closed until at least Monday.

The ÖBB has set up replacement bus services in affected areas.

In Lower Austria, a mudslide has halted train services between Aspang and Friedberg, with similar disruptions in Upper Austria.

The ÖBB has issued a travel warning, advising against non-essential travel until Sunday evening.

Emergency services are actively responding to the situation, with more than 20 locations in Lower Austria declared disaster areas due to flooding risks.
