The words of Count Sigmund von Thun: “The floods are rushing towards us and the floods are rushing towards us today” and it seems to the families today. In the Late Ice Age about 14,000 years ago, the Kaprunertal was covered by a mighty glacier. Langsam talwärts fließend bearbeitete er die harten Kalkglimmerschieferfelsen des Mais- und Bürgkogels. The melted glacier left a valley incision through which the Kapruner Ache flowed down the valley.
