    Running

    Here the flow of the river is used to generate electricity.
    The water is dammed with the help of a weir system. The difference in height caused by the congestion is then used to generate electricity.

    Impressive, this block. From the run-of-river power plant, the route continues beautifully along the canal on the right-hand side, towards Erlangen.
