Sigmund Thun  Gorge –  Over 30 metres deep and 320 metres long cuts the Kaprun Ache its way through the Kaprun Valley. And cutting is really the right term here. Relentlessly forces the Kaprun Ache it’s way from the glaciers high above the Kaprun Valley toward the valley. Steep drops and altitude meters accelerate the speed and release the pure force of the water. Nothing will stop this force, neither rock nor stone. It is this force with which the Kaprun Ache has shaped the Sigmund Thun Gorge just outside the town of Kaprun. The stream has cut the gorge into the rocks, shaped distinctive smooth sections, and created potholes and scours. This process continues to this day and documents the latest period of the Kaprun Valley’s history of origins.

Krimmel Waterfalls –  The course of the Krimmler Ache river begins where the glaciers of the Großvenediger and Dreiherrenspitze “bleed” in summer. The mountain stream meanders through the beautiful Krimmler Ache Valley before it plunges down over a steep drop into the Upper Pinzgau, thus bringing the world-famous Krimml Waterfalls to life. With 380 meters in height, these are the highest waterfalls in Europe, and they are not only stunningly beautiful but also soothing and healing. The ions in the water, released through the impact of the water on the rock, have a therapeutic and healing effect on the body and mind …

Kaprun Castle  – The castle towers majestically above  Kaprun and still radiates the atmosphere of the original fortress. A bastion above the valley, a structure overlooking everything and thick walls that not only provide sufficient protection but also signal enemies that not many ways will lead past the fortress and its defenders. According to historians, Kaprun Castle was built in the 12th century. It was built for the very reasons why castles were built back then: as a retreat, as a fortress, as the residence of noble families and as a status symbol. Kaprun Castle is still a stately building today and takes beholders and visitors back to bygone times
