Advocates' study visit to Upper Austria PDF Print E-mail

This two day trip from 21 to 23 November gathered Challenge Europe participants from Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia, Poland and Ukraine. The program was designed to give them an overview of a wide range of climate friendly solutions applied in one of the most climate friendly regions in Europe. They visited a photovoltaic system in Linz, a wind power plant, a biogas plant and a passive house in Freisadt and a biomass heating plant by the beautiful monastery in Kremsmünster. Their last stop was the bicycle-friendly town of Traun. In the evening the advocates got the chance to discuss their challenges and share ideas. They all felt that the group from across Europe is passionate about the project, composed of friendly and intelligent individuals.
