This Austrian Danube power plant was built between 1965 and 1968 and belongs to the Upper Danube plant group. It is right on the Danube Cycle Path.

The Wallsee–Mitterkirchen Danube Power Plant is an impressive example of modern engineering along the Danube. It was built between 1965 and 1968 and is one of the largest run-of-river power plants in Austria. With its six Kaplan turbines, it has an installed capacity of approximately 210 megawatts and generates approximately 1.34 billion kilowatt hours of environmentally friendly electricity annually – enough to supply more than one million people. The power plant spans the Danube between Wallsee in Lower Austria and Mitterkirchen in Upper Austria. Its clear, functional architecture blends harmoniously into the expansive river landscape.
