this is a small power station at the confluence of two pipeways bringing water into Loichel Dam (see separate item). The station is triggered automatically by the water level in the inlets. When the level is high enough water is partially diverted from the pipeways leading to the Loichel dam and runs through the small station set in the valley between the two inlets which flank it on the valley side. Water crosses the valley in an inverted siphon to reach Loichel dam.Although this site contains a degree of technical interest from the regulation by water level the features are of predominantly functional design.
