One excursion in Austria that is not to be missed is the Sigmund Thun Gorge walk -
ad | An atmospheric, almost mystical spectacle of nature that should be high on your must-do list! The walk through the gorge takes around 30 minutes, it’s easy to navigate just follow along the purpose built wooden steps and boardwalk. Great for families (not pram friendly because of the steps) and don’t forget your rain coats when passing under the waterfalls. At the end of the gorge cross the bridge and turn left, you’re only minutes from the stunning Klammsee Reservoir, one of the most beautiful lakes in the region. With plenty of picnic spots dotted around the lake, there’s also a cafe and lakeside playground at Klammseestüberl; just a 10 minute walk from the end of the gorge. There are also endless trails around the reservoir to extend the day with a hike but the gorge and a playground were a win for us.
Getting there : If you’re without a car like us the 660 bus takes you directly from Zell am See to the gorge. If you stay on the bus until the stop after the gorge ( which happened to us by mistake 🙈) you’ll pass by the playground and the reservoir on your walk to the gorge so it was actually a blessing in disguise.
Enjoyment : Highly recommend!
