View of the Freudenau Power Plant

Highlight • Bridge

07/07/2018 - At the barrage you can watch the ship raise / lower in peace, guided tours are also offered here.

18.09.2018 - The size of the power plant is impressive - great. But the Freudenau power plant can only be crossed by bike or on foot; it is the tenth and last of the Austrian Danube power plants.

Visit us at the Freudenau power plant and experience an exciting look behind the scenes of power generation in 90 minutes. In the information center with its own cinema, various exhibits and a large power plant model, the story of hydropower and that of the power plant is told. Vienna-Freudenau is the tenth and youngest power plant on the Danube and has been supplying electricity from hydropower since 1998. The fish pass was the first of its size and trend-setting for ecological power plant construction. 😊👍👍

Freudenau Hydropower Plant

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

The granaries in Albern Harbor are a landmark that can be seen from afar at the gates of Vienna. Erected between 1939 and 1942 by forced laborers under Nazi rule, grain was to be transported from the annexed areas of Eastern and Southeastern Europe to Germany via the port.
