The Ybbs-Persenbeug power plant was Austria's first power plant on the Danube. Popular destination for cyclists on the Danube Cycle Path.

The 460 m long dam wall dams the Danube at river kilometer 2,060.42 over a length of around 34 km to a height of 10.9 m. The content of the storage space is approx. 74 million m³, the storage target is at an altitude of 226.2 m.
At the left, northern end of the dam are the two locks, each with a usable length of 230 m and a usable width of 24 m.
The weir consists of 5 weir fields with a width of 30 m each and is located in the middle of the dam.

One of many power plants on the way near Vienna that can be used as a bridge. The bike path on the power station is easy to navigate.

The Ybbs-Persenbeug power station is not only the oldest Danube power station in Austria, but also one of the most impressive technical structures along the Danube. Together with the lock system, it is an important landmark for the region and a popular destination for technology enthusiasts. The power station was built between 1954 and 1959 and was Austria's first Danube power station. The power station impressively shows how water energy is used and was a pioneer in sustainable energy production.

There is a visitor center that offers insights into how the power station works and its history. The power station is located directly on the Danube cycle path, which runs along both banks. The route between Ybbs and Persenbeug is particularly attractive, offering a mixture of nature and technology along the Danube.
