Fish migration aid for the Jochenstein power plant
The Jochenstein Danube power station was commissioned in 1956. With its striking architecture, it is a landmark of the region. The location for the power plant was deliberately chosen to minimise a risky spot for shipping between Bavaria and Upper Austria. As part of the LIFE Blue Belt Danube Inn project, the power station will be equipped with a near-natural fish migration aid. A bypass river of 3.5 kilometres in length creates a barrier-free environment for fish and provides space for aquatic life of all kinds.
