Wienerbruck power station

Not far from Wienerbruck-Josefsberg station is the Lassing reservoir, which feeds the Wienerbruck power station. The power station was originally responsible for supplying the Mariazell railway line. Although the railway has been supplied by the Klangen transformer station since 2014, the power station building, which has been repeatedly renovated over the years, is still in operation today and generates three-phase current for the public grid.

Since the 2015 Provincial Exhibition, the Wienerbruck power plant has been open to visitors for viewing and can be reached just as conveniently on foot in about 45 minutes from the Ötscher-Basis Nature Park Centre.
