Kapruner
River walk ... Kaprunertal Valley
The scenery was beautiful walking up the valley along the river. The peaks
in the distance are in Hohe Tauren National Park. The glacier area at Kitzsteinhorn
is a popular tourist destination, reached by a series of lifts. The are also
power generating stations, power lines and reservoirs throughout the valley.

We're now walking upriver from the Gorge. Heading towards
a glacier mountain railway. |
The trail was well marked. The signage is starting to
make sense to us! |
The path took us right through this field. We waited
a bit while the cows moved away from the gate. |
|
This picture made us laugh!! The top sign is the road name. The bottom one says "tit for tat" & then "please take it away". A cow doing it's business in the driveway is hilarious!! |
This
is the glacier mountain railway station we walked to. It's one of the
many in this area of the eastern Austrian Alps. |
Not
sure how far this goes, we didn't ride up. We're not into downhill skiing
and we've not looking for snow! |
|
One of the many streams flowing into the Kapruner River. |
Looking back up the valley over the Klammsee reservoir. Nearing the end of our walk. Lots of families out enjoying the beautiful day. |
We are at the end of the trail looking down at where
we started walking on the boardwalk. |
