Persenbeug Castle and Ybbs-Persenbeug Hydroelectric Power Plant

Highlight • Monument

It is very interesting to watch the ships in the lock from the bridge. It takes a while, but the opportunity is good. The lock operation is fascinating to watch. Here you can watch how large cargo ships and river cruise ships pass through the lock and overcome the difference in height of the Danube.

The Ybbs-Persenbeug power station is not only the oldest Danube power station in Austria, but also one of the most impressive technical structures along the Danube. Together with the lock system, it is an important landmark for the region and a popular destination for bicycle tours and technology enthusiasts. The power station was built between 1954 and 1959 and was the first Danube power station in Austria.

There is a visitor center that offers insights into how the power station works and its history. The power station is located directly on the Danube cycle path, which runs along both banks. The stretch between Ybbs and Persenbeug is particularly attractive, offering a mixture of nature and technology along the Danube.

The tranquil town of Gutenbrunn is located on the eastern edge of the Weinsberg Forest. The name Gutenbrunn goes back to a spring that attracted pilgrims and was first mentioned in 1556. The parish church and the early classical castle are worth seeing.
