Forstsee power station, Pumped-storage power station in Techelsberg, Austria.

The Forstsee power station operates with a 2.4 megawatt capacity, using water storage and turbines to generate electricity near Lake Wörthersee.

Built in 1925, this facility marked a significant advancement as the first storage power plant constructed in the Carinthia region of Austria.

The power station, designed by Franz Baumgartner, represents Art Nouveau architectural elements while maintaining its industrial functionality.

Visitors can access the facility via the ÖBB/Postbus stop Saag/Wörthersee Forstseewerk, located 200 meters from the main entrance.
