    Here you can see the generation of regenerative energy directly. Everything is clearly explained on display boards. The riverside path leads directly past the power house.

    The water play area of the Main-Danube Canal is about 7m higher than the Rothsee. The difference in height is used to generate energy.

    The Rothsee II hydropower plant generates an average of 1.8 million kilowatt hours of electricity per year.

      The Rothsee is part of the transfer system. It stores the water from the Altmühl and the Danube that is passed over the Main-Danube Canal.

      The water can be released into the rivers below as required. The Rothsee II hydropower plant generates an average of 1.8 million kilowatt hours of electricity per year.
