The Eschenbach municipal council is reviewing next steps after a series of court decisions regarding the Atzmännig campsite, located in an area of significant flood risk. In January 2023, the council ordered the evacuation of the lower part of the site by the end of May 2025, citing the official natural hazard map. Sportbahnen Atzmännig AG appealed, and in July 2025 the St. Gallen Administrative Court overturned the previous ruling, sending the case back for reconsideration. In April 2026, the Building and Environment Department annulled the evacuation order and referred the matter back to the municipal council for further clarification.
