    In Egloffstein, the traditional use of hydroelectric power was resumed: the Trubach leads at Egloffstein about 1000 l / s of water. Part of this water passes over an overshot waterwheel and drives a generator. The CO²-neutrally generated amount of energy is approx. 18 kWh and is supplied to the municipal grid. So that fish and amphibians can continue to pass this place, only part of the water flows over the waterwheel. The height difference of approx. 3.25 m is passable via a hiking aid (fish pass) built of natural stones. Source: fraenkische-schweiz.com/en/poi/detail/574ff61d975a7924fd74e017
