Stausee Mooserboden

The Mooserboden reservoir contains two artificial lakes at 2,040 meters elevation, enclosed by mountains reaching heights of 3,000 meters in the Hohe Tauern National Park.

The Kaprun high mountain reservoirs were constructed during the post-war reconstruction period to generate hydroelectric power for the growing energy demands of Austria.

The Electricity Adventure World exhibition at the reservoir tells the story of water power through interactive displays and educational presentations about energy generation.

Access to the reservoir operates from June to October via shuttle buses and the Lärchwand inclined lift, which rises 431 meters through the mountainside.

The MOBO 107 via ferrata allows climbers to scale directly on the concrete dam wall while secured to safety cables, offering vertical views of the water below.
