The Upper Bavarian municipality of Reit im Winkl has its own district heating network, which is paying off during the energy crisis. There was great resistance to the project more than 20 years ago. Visit to a place that only gradually understands its happiness.

Did they know what they were getting themselves into? Of course they didn’t know, at least not exactly. Luckily, says Andreas Heigenhauser today. It wasn’t all clear to him himself more than two decades ago. Especially not that it would then be him himself who, together with the whole village, should embark on a rather big thing. But they all pulled themselves together back then, and now they’re fine.
