Best Hikes to Art Nouveau Hydroelectric Power Station Heimbach
Tips
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.translated by

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

Nice power plant in the Art Nouveau style, but is not driven by the Rur, but about the Kermeterstollen about 70m further above and fed by the Urfttalsperre.
