Highlight • Waterfall

Here the mountain stream rushes down over large stones. The boulders invite you to sit down and put your feet in the cool water.

From the Alpenhaus boiler case, you can take the bus up to the reservoir. Buses run regularly and it goes through various narrow tunnels. In between you have to leave the bus and drive with a large inclined elevator (covered). Then you drive again with the provided buses. The whole thing is free with the Kaprun Summer Card. A free parking garage is located just before the bus stop at the Alpenhaus, where there is a nice place to stop for a bite to eat.

We parked our car in the parking garage (free of charge) at the cash desk (Kesselfallstraße 98, 5710 Kaprun), bought tickets at the cash desk, took the first bus to the cable car, then took the cable car up about 450 meters in altitude, then the second Bus past the lower reservoir to the upper Mooserboden reservoir. There made the …

A colorful mix of hiking at the reservoir, bus ride to the valley, further downhill with the inclined lift and the remaining kilometers on foot again

It is a very nice half or full day tour, but it is definitely only fully enjoyable in sunshine and produces beautiful pictures.

Today our hike took us from the Kesselfall parking garage to the high mountain reservoirs and the Moserboden. We parked our car in the free parking garage, and then we climbed steeply, passing under the funicular railway at times, up to the first reservoir. We continued along the reservoir, on a path that was not without its challenges, with waterfalls, …

We had Komoot from the parking lot all the way back. So the km/h are of course not correct 😉. But the tour is absolutely recommended!!! Insanely great views and such clear air at 2,000 meters altitude 🏔️
The mountains are incredibly impressive in height! A must for every mountain fan 🥾 where even climbing fans get their money's worth …

Today I had the Kaprun high mountain reservoirs on my schedule. By bus and inclined lift and bus we went up to Mooserboden, when I got there I saw nothing, absolutely nothing, there was such a thick foggy soup up there. I still went up to the Höhenburg (forgot to start komoot), then I hiked on the herbal nature trail …

Like fjords, the two high mountain reservoirs Wasserfallboden and Mooserboden are embedded in the alpine landscape at 2,036 meters above sea level. They are evidence of one of the greatest technological marvels in the region. The turbines are hidden in the mighty dam walls that keep the turquoise water in check: they generate electricity all year round.
You can use …
