Sigmund-Thun-Klamm, Natural canyon in Kaprun, Austria
The Sigmund-Thun-Klamm extends 320 meters through limestone formations, reaching depths of 30 meters where water flows through narrow rock passages.
The canyon formed 14,000 years ago during the last Ice Age when glacial melt waters carved deep channels into the Mais and Bürgkogel mountain massif.
The gorge received its name from Salzburg governor Count Sigmund von Thun, who noted the powerful water torrents during his first visit in 1893.
Wooden walkways and bridges guide visitors through the canyon, offering a 30-minute walking route with informational panels about local geology and nature.
During summer evenings, colored lights illuminate the canyon walls and water, creating different patterns and effects throughout the natural rock formations.
