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.

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

June 18, 2025,Padua und Ahoi... Kaprun, schwubbeldiwupp zum Schaufelberg, weiter zum Maiskogel und toröch

A very nice hike away from the crowds... the descent was a bit more challenging for us northern Germans, who only know the Bungsberg (168 m above sea level), but doable. We only chose the route through Kaprun because our stomachs were rumbling... you can skip the walk through the village 😉

October 17, 2022,Großglocknerblick Hütte übern Klammsee

From Kaprun steadily uphill to the Maiskogelalm via easily walkable paths, on an easy path up to the Großglocknerblick hut. About 1620 meters high.
Fantastic tranquility, dripping water, soothing sun, no rush.
Here I stay, says the mind.
Enjoy it says the mind.
Striding down over a seemingly endless winding path. Here, too, I say to myself, enjoy the journey. …

October 1, 2022,Sigmund-Thun Klamm – Maiskogel (Alpengasthaus Glocknerblick)

From the parking lot we went through the impressive Sigmund Thun Gorge. The steep and approx. 4 km long ascent to the Alpenhaus Glocknerblick begins right at the exit at the Klammsee. Once at the top we enjoyed it in the rustic hut. Unfortunately, most of the descent went via the hiking autobahn. A forest path was closed for work …
