View of the Sigmund Thun Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

Not a typical racing bike highlight, especially since you probably cannot/may not cycle to the Kaprun reservoirs
But if you're nearby, it's worth taking a look at the gorge from above
The path from the top is hard there with fine gravel after the view of the gorge, it continues down to Kaprun on asphalt

Sigmund Thun Gorge

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

A gorge worth seeing near Kaprun. As already written by another user, the gorge is relatively short. However, you should not return directly to the parking lot at the end of the gorge, but also circle the turquoise shimmering Klammsee. This takes about an hour. On the way you pass a Kneipp facility, a playground and a hut where you can get drinks and snacks.

This is definitely worth a visit, but also include the Klammsee in your hiking or cycling tour.

Entrance to the Sigmund Thun Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

Here is the entrance to the more than 30 meters deep and 320 meters long Sigmund Thun Gorge. For a small fee, you can explore the gorge in the summer months on boardwalks to the castle barrier and the small reservoir. You can listen to the roaring Kapruner Ache, which winds through the narrow valley.

Klammsee Dam and Waterfall (Kaprun)

Highlight • Waterfall

From the gorge you can take a lovely hike to the cable car. You can either hike back or take the shuttle bus back to the starting point.

Very nice lake with swimming opportunities, but also suitable for people who are not that good on foot.
