Sigmund Thun Klamm

The trip through the gorge is quite short, so I recommend taking your time to explore it, stopping along the way to take photos and admire the view. Bring a rainjacket with you because it’s going to be pretty wet. It’s definitely worth visiting

Depending on the time of day you can book tickets so you enter faster, it's usually more crowded in the morning. Plenty of parking spots available (4 parking areas). Be sure not to miss the panorama after visiting the gorge. When you exit, go left, follow the green trail and after a couple of meters follow the sign to Burgkogel on the left - 5 min hike and then you reach a great observation point above the lake. If you follow the trail further you get to the parking areas.

What we did accidentally: Drove by all the parking spaces got to the top of the gorge, found enough parking space there, hiked 20 minutes down to the entrance of the gorge, admired what nature provides. Then I recommend to take a bath in the ice cold Ache river at the end, head back to your car, be mentaly enriched and soulfully refreshed! What a wonderful time we had!

Very accessible and relativly short circular trail around the Klamm waterfalls. We took around one hour to complete the entire 6km route while enjoying the scenery. The first part is made of wooden platforms and stairs, and then the trail becomes as flat as it gets. It's perfect for a quick visit or a relaxing day trip. There are many benches and places to rest along the trail, as well as photo corners.

We went here with our Sommerkarte for free and what surprised us, that there was no queue at all. It was windy and all the water from the small and big waterfalls felt like a breeze in the sea 😅 To be honest it felt good. You need to be careful to not slip on the pathways because there is a lot of water here. But it was a great experience and we loved it a lot. I think that’s the second best thing in the town of Kaprun , the first is Kitzsteinhorn ))

Nice, well maintained gorge and walking path. Yes there are stairs but they are spread out so it’s a pretty easy walk. The gorge itself is beautiful and at the top is a lake. FYI, the driving directions didn’t take us to the parking area- so just keep driving up the road and you will see signs for the lots.

Visiting Sigmund Thun Klamm was one of the highlights of our trip to Kaprun. The gorge is absolutely stunning, with crystal-clear turquoise water rushing through dramatic rock formations and wooden walkways that let you experience the power of nature up close. The paths are well maintained and safe, making it enjoyable for families, couples, or solo travelers. The walk isn’t too long, but every step offers something new—towering cliffs, refreshing waterfalls, and peaceful forest surroundings at the top. It’s the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. I especially loved the sound of the water echoing through the gorge—it felt both powerful and calming at the same time. It’s an easy activity to fit into your day in Kaprun, and the scenery makes it unforgettable. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area—it’s a natural wonder you shouldn’t miss!

Really enjoyed our trip here. Very well done, recently built and good facilities. Wasn’t busy when we went so ample opportunity for photos. Can even pop into the power station to see what goes on in there. Not too expensive either considering how much work has been put into it.
