Annabrücke Hydroelectric Power Plant

Highlight • Structure

The Annabrücke power plant supplies the region with electricity. Since the water is dammed up, it falls to a depth of 20 meters when it drains and drives the turbines in the process.

August 22, 2024,Drauradweg von Klagenfurt nach Lavamünd

So, the next day. The evening in Klagenfurt was good. A beautiful town. To look at. Back to the cycle path, we went over the first mountain of the day. Up to Völkermarkt, the Drau is a series of barrages so that the cycle path runs flat along the water. I then rode up the mountain to look at Völkermarkt, …

Another "mosquito day" today. They almost ate me. At the Annabrücke power plant, the Drau is dammed for a length of around ten kilometers. The cycle path leads straight along this lake, natural surface at first of good quality and then less. As soon as a body of water flows very slowly or stands still, the mosquito plague is programmed. …

June 29, 2022,🇦🇹 Drauradweg #5: von Feistritz im Rosental nach Lavamünd

The morning is pleasantly cool. Before we leave, it's still 10 o'clock. It rolls completely differently and the route parallel to the Drau doesn't seem that stupid either. The river is dammed almost continuously - you get the impression you are in a lake district. Shortly before Völkermarkt it gets hilly again. Neudenstein Castle is bypassed at the top and …

September 11, 2024,Drauradweg: Von Ferlach nach Dravograd

Fourth stage in beautiful weather, dry and warm. First along the two reservoirs and a power station. But it took a while to get to Völkermarkt (the same distance as yesterday to Villach). When I tried to get up from the lake to the city, I ended up in an orchard and then decided to leave the city up above …

September 4, 2022,14 Im Süden: Von Feistritz im Rosental nach Dravograd

After a quiet night at the campsite, we continue on the Drau Cycle Path. The first half almost always flat on good gravel roads directly on the river. Well, it's more of a long lake, since the Drau is dammed here with many barrages. At each step there is an elaborate fish ladder. It must still be quite tedious to …
