    The **Wallsee-Mitterkirchen Danube Power Plant** is an impressive run-of-river power plant located between the towns of **Wallsee** in Lower Austria and **Mitterkirchen** in Upper Austria. Here are some interesting facts about the power plant:

    1. **First dry-construction power plant**: It was the first Austrian Danube power plant to be constructed using the **dry-construction method**. This means it was built without the usual water diversions, representing an innovative technique.

    2. **Construction period**: The power plant was built from **1965 to 1968** and is a significant example of modern engineering.
