Tips

Roger Eggenberger 🐾👣

May 20, 2025

The three power plants in Lienz, Blatten, and Montlingen are still housed in the renovated historic facilities dating back to their founding in 1906. They are located in the idyllic local recreation area along the Rhine Valley Inland Canal – directly on the route of the signposted cycle path in the St. Gallen Rhine Valley, in the municipalities of Lienz, Oberriet, and Montlingen. As an environmentally friendly electricity producer, the SAK is committed to preserving nature, especially in the vicinity of its power plants. Between autumn 2021 and 2025, the SAK will renovate the three inland canal power plants and equip them with new fish upstream and downstream systems. This will allow lake trout from Lake Constance to find their way to the spawning grounds in the upper Rhine Valley. With this commitment, the SAK is proactively helping to ensure the conservation of this fish species.
