Tips

Zingiber 🪲

April 21, 2019

In 1928, near Oberwartha, the construction of a reservoir for the pumped storage plant in Niederwartha began. Three steel pipes of 3.20 or 2.50 m in diameter and 1,760 m in length supply the turbines in Nierwartha. The drop height is about 143 m.
Of the formerly six turbines, only two can generate electricity today, after the power plant was damaged in 2002 by the Elbe flood. The last owner Vattenfall took the power plant off the grid on 1.1.16. Today it is held up only for the black start case.

You can get to the water pipes from Niederwartha to Oberwartha via the serpentines, which require a good level of fitness. But on the way you will be rewarded with a wonderful view over the Elbe Valley. The scramble is worth it!
