Reservoir & Power Station

The Kaprun power station and reservoirs are of historical importance. Even as early as the beginning of the 20th Century the people of Kaprun had decided to use the water of the surrounding mountains to create power. The Kaprun power station was completed in 1955.

Three enormous dam walls were built and are today an interesting attraction for visitors to the area.

Beginning of June - Mid October, daily 8:10 - 16:45,
