Steyr was the first town in Europe to get street-lights with electricity in Europe and here you may see this first electricity-plant in Steyr (it is not in use any more - but looks even more romantic that way...)

This is Berggasse - about 50 meters above the Town-square.Its pedestrian area and you will see plenty of nice buildings there as well.Like the house on the left - it was the home of that person - I am not sure about the word : HENKER - the one in charge of the "Gouillotine"Today this house is part of Stadthotel Styria and you may rent it

many of the old watermills are used today as private houses...with a small garden around and a terrace facing the water.Infortunately the flood gets there every year

Take a walk along the Steyr-Wehrgraben - it is actually not the real river STEYR, but an artificial branch to bring the water to the power-plants and hammer-works.

In Berggasse you may see the very last remain of the former town-wall.Its just a very small house and the balcony and the gate you may walk through

have a closer look for the technique of the powerplant.you may walk into it a bit freely, but simply be careful !!!

Take a walk in Wehrgraben to the very end - its mostly a walk outside of car-trafic and a stroll besides the small side-arm of the river Steyr

Museum Arbeitswelt shows the history of industrial work with ups and downs, times of beginning and peak of industrialisation, times of unemployment...

a small river flows through the museum and shows this lock , where it enters the river Steyr again

Water-wheels might be seen a lot in the old Wehrgraben.This artificial river was built for the hammerworks and watermills and powerplants only
