It is not a waterfall. It is the overflow of the Klammsee. A dam wall for the power plant group's own use plant in Kaprun. Beautifully embedded at the end of the gorge.

It marks the end of the gorge, so to speak. Beautiful view of the Klammsee, round the lake is worthwhile.

Is a nice lake. I don't quite get why it's so crowded. A lake in the Alps.

The cycle paths are great...but I think depending on which day you ride them, it could also get tight.

Zell am See is an Austrian town on Lake Zell, south of Salzburg. A tower added in the 15th century belongs to the Romanesque parish church of St. Hippolytus. Paths and ski lifts lead to the slopes of the Schmittenhöhe. In the southwest, the Hohe Tauern National Park and Austria's highest mountain, the Großglockner, can be seen from the summit world 3000 on the summit of the Kitzsteinhorn glacier. ― Google

At the end of the gorge is the small dam of the Klammsee. An absolute highlight like the whole gorge. 😎
