Kaprun Alpine Reservoirs

Kaprun lakes almost seem like fjjords. especially when the snow starts to melt in spring. Visitors see at close range how much technology, know-how and engineering skills are required for generating energy these days. But this does not only apply to today – the history of the alpine reservoirs is long and a journey into the past with all its strong and weak points will surely fascinate you – approx. 1 hours drive from Haus Schneeberg

Lakes

There are many other lakes in the area that are worth a visit, either to take in the beautiful surroundings, wander around the lake town and villages, relax in a lakeside restaurant, cycle around the lake, or take a dip or a sail in the lake!

We recommend visiting Zell am See, St Wolfgang and Mondsee, amongst others!
