Kachlet Hydroelectric Power Plant and Lock

From here you have an impressive view of this technical structure that serves two purposes. It was built in 1921 to make shipping on the Danube safer or to make it possible for large ships. Because in the rocky section beforehand it was very difficult. Since then, the lock has been damming up the water and allowing even large ships to sail safely on the Danube. The power plant's turbines also produce energy for Passau. Cycling across the lock is definitely an experience.

Convincing piece of technology history. With a jetty to cross the Danube for cyclists.

The Kachlet lock system was built with the overall Kachlet power plant construction project to ensure the continuity of shipping on the Danube.

As a pedestrian or cyclist you can use the facility to cross. The view of the Danube is wonderful, especially downwards towards Passau.
