No, Donauwörth is not idyllically situated on a lake! What you see is flooding and the water levels are rising quickly! The water levels of the Danube, Wörnitz, Schmutter, Zusam and Kessel in #Donauwörth exceeded warning level 2 this morning and are rising to 3. A further rise well above warning level 4 on Sunday is to be expected. Based on the current data, it cannot be ruled out that the peak discharges will still be above the floods of April 1994 and the Whitsun flood of 1999, according to the local water management office. There is a clear warning for all built-up areas. Some buildings are already flooded.
