There is an old run-of-river power plant right next to the Leupoldshammer dam.
A water wheel (no longer available!) Was driven by a derivation from the Eger and electricity was generated from it.
In addition to the building (which has now been converted into a weekend house), you can still see the old moat, in which the water wheel was once located.
