    The Jochenstein power plant is a run-of-river power plant in the Danube on the German-Austrian border, which derives its name from the nearby Jochenstein rock. The technical systems are located in the area of the market towns of Untergriesbach and Engelhartszell. Wikipedia
    Opened: 1952

    It was built from 1953-56. Serves as a power plant and lock (height difference 12 meters). You can also change the Danube side via the power station crown.
    ATTENTION: there are about 100 steps (with a bike lane) to overcome.

    The lock with power plant offers the opportunity to change sides of the Danube. The national border cannot be overlooked, but is freely passable.
