A blend of nature and technology

Measures for preventing the spread of COVID-19 at our excursion destinations

The rules for managing COVID-19 apply at the VERBUND excursion destinations. In particular, we ask our guests to follow the rules on social distancing and – where required – to wear a mask (e.g. in our shuttle buses and exhibition rooms). Where possible, we will help you to support the rules – please also help us with this. The situation makes it necessary to adjust procedures, activities and offerings. We are doing our best to create an optimal visitor experience and apologise in advance if some of the offerings are not available in the usual form. The announcements and events can only take place if they can be implemented on a legal and organisational basis. 

Mix of technology, nature and hydropower

The individual reservoirs in the Austrian mountains lie like fjords. Technical masterpieces that brave the challenges involved in building the dams and also offer tourist highlights in addition to supplying electricity. As the biggest domestic producer of electricity from hydropower, VERBUND offers a peek behind the scenes at its excursion destinations. Whether visitor centres on the Danube or Mur, or the big facilities in the Alps. The perfect mix of technology, nature and hydropower is deployed.

Learning meets experience

VERBUND focuses on imparting knowledge in the form of guided tours for all its tourist offerings. Whether run-of-river power plants or the big pumped storage power plants in the Alps. Take a look behind the scenes of the biggest producer of electricity from hydropower in Austria and Bavaria, and playfully learn interesting facts about the generation of electricity now and then. The platform “Stromschule” (Electricity School) has been set up for school classes, where educators can find a wide range of energy topics for the respective
learning stage.

Accessibility in the masterpieces of technology

As VERBUND power plants are embedded into the natural environment, they are not on one level. And the surrounding countryside is not suitable for wheelchairs. Nevertheless, we are trying to reduce the barriers in the built-up environment to a minimum. That concerns not only people with restricted mobility, strollers or older persons. Everyone should, regardless of any disability, be able to experience the mix of nature, technology, hydropower and electricity generation. Each visitor centre has different barriers and a range of solutions, but they all have one thing in common: a visit is entirely possible!

Give someone a special kind of mountain experience

A visit to the VERBUND high-mountain reservoirs in Kaprun, Schlegeis or Malta is a special natural experience. Combined with a meal, a guided tour of the dam wall or a sporting activity, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Choose from the various voucher offers and give someone an unforgettable time at our reservoirs.
