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 Pied Piper Fountain in Korneuburg, located on the main square in front of the town hall, was erected in 1898 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the reign of Emperor Franz Joseph I. It was designed by Max Kropf, and the statue of the Pied Piper is by the sculptor Emanuel Pendl. The fountain is made of white Kaiserstein and commemorates the local Pied Piper legend: A mysterious minstrel is said to have freed the town from a rat plague in 1646, but was only inadequately rewarded by the city fathers, whereupon he carried off the town's children. Today, the fountain is an important monument and cultural symbol of Korneuburg, as well as a popular photo opportunity for locals and visitors.

Great place for a break on the Danube Cycle Path
