Experience Wasserburg's Innwerk up close
On Saturday, September 26, 2026, a rare perspective on a structure that has been closely linked to the city's history for decades will open in Wasserburg am Inn: the Innwerk. The tour Exploration between Portal Cranes and Turbines combines technical history, energy generation, and local cultural heritage into a unique discovery experience by the river.
Where the Inn sets energy in motion
One kilometer above the historic old town stands the Innwerk right in the river. For nearly 90 years, the power plant has harnessed the energy of the fast-flowing Inn for electricity generation. For Wasserburg, the facility is much more than an energy supplier: it is part of the familiar cityscape and shapes the perception of the river just like the gravel banks, the Capuchin Island, and the riverside landscape.
Portal cranes, turbines, and technical history
The impressive portal cranes and the technical facility of the power plant are the focus of the tour. Participants will gain insights into the significance of the Innwerk for regional energy supply and experience a piece of industrial history up close. Architecture, mechanical engineering, and river landscape come together here to create an unusual attraction away from classic city tours.
A look at Wasserburg's familiar river
Many people from Wasserburg know the Inn from walks along the banks, from trips to the Capuchin Island, or from watching the water at rising levels. The event changes this familiar perspective. Particularly impressive is the view of the large portal cranes and the power plant site, which has not been crossable since 1938.
