House by the river

A modern environmental experience center

A modern environmental experience center on the beautiful blue Danube.

In the Danube valley near the Jochenstein power station, the Haus am Strom welcomes all visitors in the form of a wave and a pebble. It offers highlights about water and the Danube valley.
Built according to the latest findings in environmental technology, its theme is - naturally - water. Let yourself be fascinated by this matter that we take for granted and often regard as unspectacular.
