Tauern power stations
Nestled between mountains and glaciers is the alpine storage reservoir Kaprun. A great scenery, perfect for beautiful hiking and climbing tours.
Upper level - Moserboden storage reservoir
Regularly guided tours along the retaining walls are held that are interesting and exciting for both experts and amateurs. Nowadays renewable energy play a major role, but the history of the Tauern power station go back further in time and involves struggles regarding this project, with risk of failure during a longer period of time. In addition to the historical and technical details there is also a guided tour inside the retaining wall - an extraordinary experience.
Main level - Wasserfallboden storage reservoir
"Strom und Eis" (Power and ice) grants the visitor insight into the world of power stations; the theme of a second exhibition focuses on the glacier world and explains the origin and the functioning of the ecological glacier system. A sun terrace and restaurant invite the guests to stay. The Wasserfallboden storage reservoir is the starting-point for countless hiking tours, but one can also go up to the peak by glacier lift.
