Oldenburg's Climate Treasures: Hydroelectric Power Plant Stop Cycle, discover climate treasures, and explore new things in a fun and engaging way: The hydroelectric power plant is part of the Climate Treasures Tour through Oldenburg. The following information is supplementary for the tour. Where are we? Located on the Hunte River, the Obere Hunte hydroelectric power plant was built in 1927 and is now a listed historical monument. It is a run-of-river power plant with two Kaplan turbines, which are still operational. They produce electricity with a capacity of 700 kilowatts. The power plant's main function is to regulate the water levels of the Küstenkanal (Coastal Canal), the Hunte River, and the Mühlenhunte (Mill Hunte). Fish can bypass the power plant via a fish ladder that was added later and migrate from the lower reaches of the Hunte to the upper reaches for spawning. Why is this a climate treasure? Electricity generated by hydropower does not require combustion processes and does not emit climate-damaging carbon dioxide.

🚢 The Oldenburg Lock is a key transportation hub for shipping in the region and is located directly next to the Upper Hunte hydroelectric power plant. The lock is situated in an area of great importance for water management, as it also contains the weir for regulating the water level and the aforementioned hydroelectric power plant for energy generation.

🌊 Special features: At Tungeln, the river's course is regulated by the Tungeln weir. Historically, this is the point where the Hunte River was divided to protect the city of Oldenburg from flooding and to allow shipping.

The memory must remain.

Beautifully laid out and easily accessible. The playground is part of the forest kindergarten.

A wonderful promenade with plenty of restaurants and cafés. Just a few minutes' walk from the pedestrian zone and the train station, the harbor is a popular meeting place in Oldenburg.

The Hunte flows near Tungeln, a district of the municipality of Wardenburg, and can be used for canoeing and SUP tours, for example, on the scenic stretch between Wardenburg and Tungeln, which leads through a nature reserve. The river is known for its diverse landscapes, with sandbanks, forests, and embankments, and there are various entry points, such as the Hunte Bridge in Tungeln.

It is always beautiful on the Hunte
