and from there to see the famous gorge of Sigmund-Thun. Again didn't take the shortest way...
Passed the sign without noticing it, rode up a couple of kilometers or actually walked the bike...
.
Had to have a break and a cup of hot chocolate with cream to get some energy to continue.

In 1893, the gorge was developed as a tourist attraction with a boardwalk planned by Kaprun tourism pioneer Nikolaus Gassner. It was named after Sigmund Graf von Thun, who was the governor of Salzburg at the time. The gorge was designated as a natural monument in 1934, and closed in 1938 when the boardwalk had to be condemned.
