The destination seems so close, but it is still about 3-4 kilometers to the end point of the Schluchtensteig.

The Wehr cavern power plant generates 1.16 billion kilowatt hours of electricity annually, which accounts for more than half of the total production of Schluchseewerk AG. This output is made possible by the enormous head of 630 meters from the Hornberg basin, which, with 4.4 million cubic meters of water, can operate the machines in the cavern at maximum power for seven hours.
