The story of the Kaprun reservoirs
The Kaprun reservoirs, Wasserfallboden and Mooserboden, were built for hydroelectric power in the mid-20th century. They sit at about 2,000 metres among glaciers and peaks over 3,000 metres high.
The journey is part of the adventure: buses climb through tunnels, and the open-air Lärchwand inclined lift carries passengers up a steep slope. At the top, you can walk on the dam walls and visit exhibitions about water power.
