Mooserboden Dam

Highlight • Lake

From the Alpenhaus boiler case, you can take the bus up to the reservoir. Buses run regularly and it goes through various narrow tunnels. In between you have to leave the bus and drive with a large inclined elevator (covered). Then you drive again with the provided buses. The whole thing is free with the Kaprun Summer Card. A free parking garage is located just before the bus stop at the Alpenhaus, where there is a nice place to stop for a bite to eat.

Chimney to Lower & Upper Forchezkopf

Highlight • Climb

You have to go through the chimney if you want to reach the Lower and Upper Forchezkopf or the Grosser Wieshorn. The chimney is secured with a rope. Using a via ferrata set isn't absolutely necessary, but it's good for your mental health. The chimney is about 15 meters long, followed by a short section with a rope, maybe 5 meters. It's not really a problem; in my opinion, it doesn't qualify for category A.
