The Greifenstein power plant on the Danube in Lower Austria is a modern run-of-river power plant that supplies electricity to a large region. It is distinguished by its ecological measures, such as an irrigation system to maintain the Stockerau floodplain and a fish pass that supports the natural habitat of Danube fish. Visitors can cross the dam by bicycle and enjoy the impressive Danube and the power plant site from vantage points. The power plant impressively combines technology, nature conservation, and landscape conservation.
