beautiful view from one of the many barrages on the Drau. The construction of the power plant turned the once wild Drau into a chain of reservoirs with only a few stretches of water in between. This has completely changed their ecology and habitus.

The Paternion run-of-river power plant was built in 1988 and has been supplying power to the region ever since, thanks to two giant turbines. The Drauradweg leads directly on the upper platform on the other side of the river. More information on verbund.com/de-at/ueber-verbund/kraftwerke/unsere-kraftwerke/paternion
