Hirschsprung Hydropower Plant

Highlight • Structure

The power station was built in 1921 by the Munich engineer dr. Eugen Sapper built. The water of the Eger is derived three kilometers above the work at Leupoldshammer, flows into a channel and then crashes in two iron pipes 30 meters down to four turbines.

September 29, 2021,Egerstausee - Egertal Runde von Hohenberg an der Eger

It starts at the Cafe-Pension Egerstau. Over the Eger and on the riverside path. Past the Hirschsprung power station on the opposite bank. At the next bridge it's back over the Eger on the way back. From now on it's uphill. The Hirschsprung Canal is crossed. The canal transports the water to a reservoir above the power plant. From there …
