Subject: Ice conditions in the lower Berauntal On 30 January 1994 Mr Oberbaurat H i r c h e and the undersigned accompanied by the adjunct Paule of the Abtl.48 of the regional authority in Prague carried out a journey because of the ice conditions in Berauntal. First, in Lahowitz, the carpenter H e i d e n r e i c e h visited with him his concerns and assured him that everything was done from the side of the waterway administration to carry out the ice drainage as harmless as possible. The closed ice cover of the Vltava ranged on the beersing day to the mouth of the Beraun. From here to the Wehr in Ra- dotin the Beraun is currently. Above the weir in Ra- dotin to the rock Kazin there is a rather closed ice cover on the Beraun. In the strongly curved rock section at Chernoschitz the ice passage is brought to a standstill, the ice has risen here about 3-4 m in height and is escalated sideways, with the arbor regions there being affected. The same picture is given on the above route to Rewnitz, while above this place the ice flops are smaller. The closed ice cover reached on the day of the ride to about Klutschitz below Pauchnik. At Mokropes and Dob- schichowitz and also the weekend houses and settlement houses have come into the traffic jam area, so that they have been partially cleared. The length of the ice flops is about ll km. The situation must be regarded as extremely critical if, before the arrival of the next meltwater and glacial wave, it is not possible to eliminate the first ice flow of the presumably steep, at least several metres, which is frozen on this route. Due to the strong cold that re-establishes, the ice floes pushed over and between each other are again firmly frozen to a closed ice cover, which is unlikely to break down even if the water level is considerably lowered. The district authority intends to blow a 30-40 m wide channel in the direction of the current line through the ice hatch through a Wehrmacht blast commando. Voerst St.S.VK-17
