    Nice view of the Elbe and Lower Saxony. You can see the 3 pipes.

      The Geesthacht pumped storage plant near Geesthacht on the Elbe is used to quickly cover the electricity demand at peak load times and as an emergency reserve in the event of power failures to enable other power plants to restart. The pumped storage power plant went into operation on October 15, 1958 and it is the largest of its kind in northern Germany.

      Here at this point you have a wonderful view of the 3 downpipes of the power plant, which have a drop height of around 83 m.

        With a diameter of 3.5m, the tube is really huge!
