URGENT. floods in Salzburg region

Are the trains just cut off to the south and west, or all trains? If you can still go east, take the train towards Vienna and turn south. I know you can go south through Hallstatt from Attnang-Puchheim to Stainach and pick up the train from there to Innsbruck. You say no substitute buses, but what about regularly scheduled buses? There are regularly scheduled buses from the Salzburg Hbf through the Salzkammergut to Attnang-Puchheim. Is the Watzmann Expres bus, RVO840, running to Berchtesgaden? I know it runs along a river, so maybe not. From Berchtesgaden you can go by bus to Bad Reichenhall, then Inzell, then to Prien, to the train line to Rosenheim, where you can take a train up the Inn to Innsbruck. Or maybe the train is running from Berchtesgaden to Freilassing.

I just posted local news items for this area over on "To the West". Spiegel also has articles about this. The whole area is flooded.

Not through Rosenheim. Just looked at German Rail, and train service from Rosenheim to Kufstein (Austrian border, on way to Innsbruck) is down.

Thank you all for replying.
I am at Hungary, so no idea what is really going on there, my boyfriend is one of the thousands of people (as he said) waiting there for some news. I just tried to find him some alternatives for travelling further, but I wasn't able to find any bus lines on the internet...which is probably my fault. Although, there is not much of a difference, because it seems that nothing is going through that area.

For buses in the Land of Salzburg (Salzkammergut) see here. For buses in Germany, see here. You can also get bus schedules (along with rail schedules) from the Austrian Rail website or the German Rail (Bahn) website.

Well, as long as you stay within Austria a rental car might do the trick. You'd have to drive via Sankt Johann im Pongau and Zell am Ziller though in oder to bypass the huge lake that once was Bavaria...
