Visitor Center at Aarberg hydroelectric power plant

There is not only electricity produced in Aarberg, but important nature conservation projects for the local flora and fauna are also being implemented. The tour in the visitor centre provides insights into the topic of hydropower and the renaturation measures of the "naturemade star" certified hydropower plant.
Hüttinger designed and built interactive exhibits and the central scale model of the plant, showing its geographic location and its connection with the Aare river. The special feature of the model is the vertical lift of the turbine house, which can be activated by the visitors, showing a cutaway model of the technical equipment and the water flow through a Kaplan turbine.
