Over the last couple of years the Gemeinde at Maria Alm has spent millions improving flood defence systems, lowering the river bed to protect against the kind of flooding that we saw last year. So when the usual June heavy rain arrived it sloshed down the river through Maria Alm and flooded Saalfelden instead. The prayer of St. Florian is called to mind; "O heiliger Sankt Florian, verschon' mein Haus, zünd' and're an", which translates as "O holy Saint Florian, spare my house, kindle others".
