    The hydropower plant from 1905 draws its water from the Urft Dam and was once the largest storage hydropower plant in Europe. The power plant building is now a listed building and can be viewed on guided tours.

    The Art Nouveau hydroelectric power station is located in Heimbach and was put into operation in 1905. The hydroelectric power plant draws its water from the Urft dam via the Kermeter tunnel, which merges into two pressure pipes 110 meters above the power plant.

    The power station is still in operation and can be visited by appointment.

    The power plant is beautifully lit at night! The visit is well worth it in the evening in any case.
