Description
DOKW (Donaukraftwerk) Asten-Abwinden is a hydroelectric power plant on the Danube in Upper Austria. The proximity of an old river arm and a reservoir results in a rich spectrum of different bird species. Birds that regularly can be found here include Sárgalábú sirály, Sztyeppi sirály, barázdabillegető, Kárókatona, Szürke gém, Barátréce, Kontyos réce, Kanalas réce and Nyári lúd.
