    Tips

    The Kembs power plant is a run-of-river power plant owned by the Électricité de France on the Rhine canal in France. The power plant's backlog extends as far as Basel, which is why 🇨🇭 Switzerland is entitled to 20% of the energy generated in the power plant.

    When it was commissioned in 1932, the power plant was considered one of the most important run-of-river power plants in Europe. To use the remaining water volume, additional doping power plants were built, which went into operation in 1966 and 2016.

    It is also interesting that in 1919, in the Treaty of Versailles, France received the sole right to develop the Rhine as a border river between Germany 🇩🇪 and France 🇫🇷. According to my research up to and including today.

      The connecting road over the weir is almost always open to cyclists and pedestrians.
      Pay attention to the signs on the access roads.
