30 September 2002

All of the turbine components except the nacelles are now at the wind park site. Delivery of the nacelles was delayed and so transportation of the heavy 57 ton machines over the Höhenstraße had to be postponed.

Finally when the first nacelle was to be transported, there was no problem at the bottom section of the Höhenstraße. The truck with its low loading surface was pushed into the curves and then pulled out changing the driving direction.

When the gradient reached 18% on the unpaved road, everyone had to pitch in and help. 2,300 of horsepower pulled and shoved- the 4 wheel-drive Tatra was decisive in getting the nacelle up the hill.
