Excursion Opportunities
BINDER Feuerwerk
Seminars and conference, art and culture, galas and special events, as well as guided tours through the most modern, most efficient biomass heating plant in Austria, together with the SichtBAR - the FeuerWerk's very own restaurant. A modal of efficiency, it is a unique architectural landmark on the one hand, housing the technology necessary to generate such products as heat, power, pellets and briquettes and thus serve as a model for sustainable energy production, in a region blessed with an abundance of wood as a natural resource. And on the other hand, it serves as the venue for on-going cultural programs in the form of exhibitions, concerts, theatrical productions, readings, seminars etc. We hope you will stop by and experience the fascination of wood for yourself ... we look forward to seeing you!
