Construction and Commissioning: - The power plant was built between 1982 and 1984 and commissioned in 1985. - It is considered the youngest Danube power plant in Lower Austria. 2. Technical Features: - It is a run-of-river power plant that harnesses the flow of the Danube to generate electricity. - The plant is known for its efficient energy production and the integration of ecological measures. 3. Environmental Measures: - The Greifenstein Power Plant was designed as a model power plant for accompanying ecological measures to minimize its impact on the environment. - These measures include, among other things, fish ladders that allow fish to overcome the dam. 4. **Importance for energy supply**: - The power plant plays an important role in Austria's **energy supply** and contributes to the use of renewable energies. The Greifenstein power plant is therefore not only a technical masterpiece, but also an example of environmentally conscious energy production.

The Greifenstein power plant on the Danube in Lower Austria is a modern run-of-river power plant that supplies electricity to a large region. It is distinguished by its ecological measures, such as an irrigation system to maintain the Stockerau floodplain and a fish pass that supports the natural habitat of Danube fish. Visitors can cross the dam by bicycle and enjoy the impressive Danube and the power plant site from vantage points. The power plant impressively combines technology, nature conservation, and landscape conservation.

Nice quiet road, easy to drive

You have to look twice to see if they're really real! :-D

Coming from Niederhollabrunn, the climb is quite moderate. Then it descends steeply to Obergänserndorf. And then, unfortunately, the quiet side roads end, as you're in the Kornneuburg area...

Dreamlike. And here, you might encounter one or two cars in a quarter of an hour...

Kreuzenstein Castle rises impressively above Leobendorf on a hill in the Rohrwald forest. The site was strategically important due to its elevated position, 266 meters above sea level and approximately 100 meters above the Danube. The castle was reconstructed in the 19th century on the ruins of an earlier castle.
