    The historic hydroelectric power station in Höllental got a wood grinding shop going as early as 1888. It has been supplying electricity since 1933. In order to use the hydropower of the Selbitz in the Franconian Höllental you need a steep gradient, the valley of the river does not manage this and so the water is dammed at a weir and fed to the power plant via pipes. There it is temporarily stored in a water tower and then fed to the turbine from a height of just over 30 meters.

      A very beautiful spectacle is the water fountain at the hydroelectric power station, which is always seen on public holidays and on Sundays from spring to autumn. Really worth seeing.

        The fountain is used on days when the weather is nice. At it you can grasp the pressure with which the water shoots up from the depths. This pressure is used in the power plant to generate electricity.
