    Mountain biking

    On August 24, 1944, the Durnagel devastated the Rüti and Linthal plains to an unprecedented extent. It had been oppressively hot for days. Everything longed for rain. Weather lights lit up the night of August 24th. The clock showed 11.49 p.m. A dull roll and a thunderous crash. Power failure. The eerie roar lasted for almost a quarter of an hour. “Is it a landslide on Kilchenstock or is the Durnagel raging?” People asked themselves on the night of horror in Rüti. Firefighters tried to get through to the residents of the food houses, sank knee-deep in water and mud.
