Elværkssøen Traditional Cache

[DAN]

30 minutters gang fra Torvet i Brande finder man Elværkssøen. Ved byens gamle elværk er Skjern Å dæmmet op, og søen ligger som en oase med laksetrapper, klart blåt vand og et rigt fugleliv. I det gamle elværk findes Danmarks ældste igangværende kobberturbiner. Kig ind af gavlvinduet og nyd synet af de smukke og velholdte maskiner. Elproduktionen startede 26. november 1910.

The reservoir serving the hydroelectric powerstation is 30 minutes stroll from Brande's town square. The artificial lake was created by a dam across Skjern Å to provide the station's water table. The lake is an oasis for nature-lovers, with a salmon ladder, clear blue water and a rich birdlife. The old powerstation was taken into use on 26th November 1910 and houses Denmark's oldest operating copper turbines. The beautifully kept machinery can be observed at work through the viewing window.
