The water for the Felsenau power plant is dammed up at the Felsenausteg and passed through a 500 meter long tunnel under the narrow peninsula to the turbine house. The Aare loop creates a gradient of 10 to 14 meters. The weir is also equipped with a doping power plant (residual hydroelectric power plant ) that was commissioned in 1998 .
The riverside path on the Aare is used for tourism.
