Prices & Infos gorge
Visitors walk along a narrow path over many wooden planks and bridges beside steep rocky walls. The tumultuous wild water of the Kaprun river is a fascinating natural spectacle, which you should not miss! 14,000 years ago the whole Kaprun valley was covered by a glacier. The Kapruner Ache poured through this valley trench that was left behind when the glacier melted.
