Wienerbruck power station
Description
Energy meets history. The Niederösterreichische Landes-Elektrizitätswerk, predecessor of today's EVN, built the Wienerbruck power plant from 1907-1911, which generated the traction current for the Mariazell Railway and thus for one of the first electrified railroads in Austria-Hungary.
The power station is still in operation. It has been open to visitors since the Lower Austrian Provincial Exhibition in 2015. The power station can only be reached on foot from the Ötscher-Basis Nature Park Center in Wienerbruck in around 45 minutes.
Tip:
Combine a visit to the Wienerbruck power plant with a hike through the Ötschergräben and the Ötscher-Tormäuer, or with a visit to the Ötscher-Basis Nature Park Center and the Vorderötscher refuge.
