Because of beaver dens, the tourist resort of Oberstdorf in the Allgäu will remain cut off from rail traffic until at least the end of October. A soil expert is now examining the damage in the railway embankment on the route to Immenstadt and how it can best be repaired, a spokeswoman for Deutsche Bahn said on Thursday. The expert should therefore also clarify whether beavers still live in the buildings. According to Deutsche Bahn, buses and taxis are now running between Sonthofen and Oberstdorf to replace the canceled rail connections.
