Töging power station

The Töging power station is a run-of-river facility along the Inn that operates using three turbine units for electricity generation. The complex includes an intake channel system that directs water to power the machinery.

Built in 1919, this facility marked the start of industrial power generation in this section of Bavaria. It was part of the broader effort to develop hydroelectric resources along the Inn River.

The power station demonstrates how communities harness river resources for energy while integrating industrial structures into the landscape. Visitors can observe how the facility has become part of the local environment.

The facility sits directly along the river and is visible from the surrounding area, making it part of the local landscape. Visitors should be aware this is an active industrial site where access may be limited.

The station includes a specialized sluice system that allows water to bypass the turbines during power outages. This safety feature reflects early thinking about grid stability and protecting the facility.
