The Altenwörth power plant is one of the largest run-of-river power plants in Austria. It is located on the Danube in the municipality of Altenwörth and is operated by VERBUND AG. Commissioned in 1976, the power plant has produced approximately 2.1 billion kilowatt hours annually since then, equivalent to the annual energy needs of approximately 600,000 households. The Altenwörth power plant is equipped with a fish pass to ensure the ecological continuity of the Danube. It also plays an important role in flood protection, as the weir can intervene to regulate flooding.

The power plant has a pedestrian and bicycle bridge that allows for safe crossing of the Danube. During the crossing, visitors can enjoy impressive views of the Danube and the surrounding landscape. There are rest areas and information panels providing information about the power plant and the surrounding area.
