Ottensheim-Wilhering Hydroelectric Power Plant and Lock

Driving down the Danube, it is advisable to decide whether you want to drive over the power station or a few km later take the ferry (approx. Via the power station you pass a competition course for rowers where a (junior?) World Championship took place in 2018.
In any case, you should change to the north side from the ferry at the latest.
On the south side, you drive into Linz on a rather narrow main road with no cycle lanes. You miss the beautiful rococo Wilhering monastery.

Here you have a gigantic view over the Danube. It's worth going to the lock, even if you don't want to cross over to the other side of the Danube.

The Ottensheim-Wilhering power plant is a run-of-river power plant in the Danube between the two Upper Austrian municipalities of Ottensheim and Wilhering. This Austrian Danube power plant was built between 1970 and 1974.
