The Augst power station, built between 1908 and 1912, was converted into a modern low-pressure run-of-river power station with Straflo turbines between 1991 and 1994. It was decided to allow visitors access to a historic group of machines and their inlets and outlets. Today, you can follow the former watercourse to the old Francis turbine from 1916 without getting your feet wet.

Marvel at it, you can walk over it by bike and have a good look at everything. Imposing. They also have guided tours, but now only virtual during the Corona period.
