Hiking

The Neuhaus power plant was built in 1924, at the same time as the reservoir. Two Francis shaft turbines with a combined output of 220 kilowatts are driven here with a height difference of 5.50 meters.

The water of the Eger is diverted 3 km above the works at Leupoldshammer, flows in a works canal to a water lock and from there falls in 2 iron pipes of 1.60 and 1.80 m in diameter 30 m deep to 4 turbines with a total of 3150 hp Power.
