The RWE industrial monument Koepchenwerk on Hengsteysee is a fascinating pumped storage power plant from the 1920s. Visitors can explore the history and operation of the power plant in the visitor center and then use the surrounding hiking and biking trails. The sight of the well-preserved industrial monument and the view of Lake Hengstey make the visit a worthwhile excursion for those interested in technology and nature.
