    The power plant Eglisau, above Herdern delivered electricity in April 1920 for the first time. The power station is a listed building and is being restored to its original condition. Some of the facilities are on German territory, the power plant building on the Swiss side. It is currently undergoing extensive refurbishment and new machinery groups.
    For groups there is the possibility to visit the power plant when registering.

      Very impressive power plant. Especially when the locks are open and the water masses flow through them.

        Just seat there and absorb all the power that the river can give you.
