Mooserboden Reservoir and Mooser Dam near Kaprun, Austria
A visit to the Kaprun municipality in Austria probably should include a trip up into the foothills of the Glockner Group, a sub-range of the Alps. There, the stunning scenery includes two massive hydroelectric dams that have created deep reservoirs, including Mooserboden, pictured here. The dams were first planned in 1920, but the Great Depression halted any actual work. The Nazi Party started working on the dams during World War II, but abandoned the effort. Once Austria was freed by Allied forces, the efforts of the Marshall Plan helped finish the dams and power plant.
