ホルツハウゼンのおすすめツーリングルート

ウェルスに到達する前にトラウン川を渡るのに非常に良い方法です！👍

1980年に建設された出力42MWの流況式水力発電所

私の子供の頃（50年前）は、ここには古い橋が一本しかありませんでした。 近くの「新しい」砂利採取場のために、トラックを運ぶためにより大きく、より強い橋が必要になりました。 どちらの橋も比較的狭いため、すぐに（標識なしで）一方通行が自然に形成されました。

Austria's highest fish ladder is currently being built in Traun-Pucking.

From the Danube Cycle Path, an impressive view opens up of the Ottensheim–Wilhering power plant, which spans the Danube at this point. The plant was built between 1970 and 1974 and is one of Austria's most important run-of-river power plants. With its clear, functional architecture, it blends harmoniously into the river landscape and symbolizes the connection between nature, technology, and energy generation. For cyclists, this section not only offers a charming view but also insight into the modern use of the Danube as an energy source.

Arch. Highlight and great to look at...
