Besides Zell am See, there is also a very romantic lake in Kaprun – the Klammsee. Although it is significantly smaller, it nevertheless enchants our guests with its beauty. For those who prefer to hike in high alpine terrain, check our hikes at the reservoirs Kaprun. Our guests will find more family hikes here. Meanwhile, the Klammsee hiking options range from easy to intermediate.

The Klammsee circuit is best combined with a visit to the Sigmund Thun Gorge. We have summarized all details about the gorge under this link. After leaving the gorge, the trail leads along the lake to the mouth of the Kapruner Ache. There you cross the Ache over a small wooden bridge where a kiosk restaurant with sun terrace and playground awaits you. After your children have finished the excursion with a cool drink, they can continue to explore the area. Tip: On hot summer days, take a bathing suit with you. If you dare, jump into the ice-cold Klammsee after the hike. On the sandbanks of the upper part of the Klammsee you can also just dip your feet in.

If the path to the Bürgkogel was too easy for you, it is best to start in the direction of the Maiskogel. The hike there is significantly higher, and therefore more demanding. The starting point is again at the Klammsee. In high summer, it is recommended to start in the morning because the midday sun shines on the path. Luckily, after three hours of climbing there is a reward in the form of cool drinks and snacks at the Glocknerblick. Those who don’t want to walk back can take the downhill ride from the top station of the Maiskogelbahn until 16:00.
