Using the notorious Antifa affiliated website Indymedia website, Antifa claimed responsibility for destroying safety hooks on a public mountain climbing trail in Austria.
From Antifa (Translated from German to English):
Right-wing groups are attempting to appropriate the mountains in order to romanticize the nation-state of Austria and create a supposed national identity. This happens on a grand stage, for example, when Kickl presents himself as an extreme athlete.
…
And because we resolutely oppose his right-wing ideology, we have decided to remove his “Secret Swabian” route at the Rauchtalplatten in the Hochschwab region.
Herbert Kickle, a conservative Austrian politician, likes mountain climbing and has used this trail at least once. Therefore, Antifa thought it was appropriate to destroy safety hooks in the middle of the day and endanger the lives of random people. Note that “Secret Swabian” is the name of this particular trail.
The conservative Austrian Freedom Party is offering a 1,000 Euro reward for information on the perpetrators.
