Near the Austrian village of Kaprun lies the picturesque Sigmund Thun Gorge.

14,000 years ago, a glacier retreated here, leaving behind a 320-meter-long, 32-meter-deep, and 20-meter-wide chasm. The river in the gorge forms turbulent waterfalls, and numerous streams flow down the gorge's walls, creating whimsical curtains. The tourist path along the gorge is renewed after each winter – wooden walkways do not always withstand the water flow. Further downstream, the river powers the turbines of the Kaprun Hydroelectric Power Station, providing electricity to the local community.

Fun fact: The gorge is named after Count Sigmund Thun, who owned the land in the 17th century and allowed the local population to use the gorge for transportation and trade.
