One of the twelve hydroelectric power plants on the High Rhine and has been in operation for over a hundred years. Here you can – at least on foot – cross the Rhine and the border. The mascot LauRhy explains to children and adults how the power station works.

Hiking

Water and hydropower have always been fascinating for young and old. At this point you can change sides by bike and on foot. Even if there is a bike ban sign on it, I would still switch sides. Because on the following stairs, there is even a channel for the bike that is probably to be pushed. I think pushing is always possible. Driving is probably not welcome.
