Follow the path of raw iron on safe visitor routes: from the breathtaking moment when the blast furnace is tapped, over the fascinating pouring of steel into blocks to the gigantic rolling of the 120-meter-long rails for use around the globe.

Learn more about the development, production processes, diverse possibilities, and innovations at the Donawitz site – at the blast furnace, steel mill, and rail rolling mill.

Due to construction activities for our electric arc furnace, we are unfortunately unable to offer all modules of our factory tours temporarily.

Starting in 2027, the electric arc furnace in Donawitz will become operational, marking an important milestone for greentec steel – Austria's largest climate protection program.

Therefore, the "Steel Mill" module will be unavailable until the end of 2026, and the "Blast Furnace" module will only be available in a limited capacity.

Thank you for your understanding.
