The Kempsenkopf is a 3093 m above sea level elevation in the Glockner Group of the Hohe Tauern in the Austrian state of Salzburg, south of Kaprun. It is the northernmost named ridge elevation over 3,000 metres in the Alps and thus in the whole of Europe, but separated from the immediately neighbouring and somewhat higher Bauernbrachkopf only by a 16-metre-deep, unnamed notch. Although the Kempsenkopf is listed as a summit in some guides, this classification is controversial due to its low notch height.

The Hinterer Bratschenkopf is a mountain in the Glockner Group on the Fusch-Kaprun ridge in the High Tauern, a high mountain range in the Austrian Central Alps. According to the listed sources it is 3,412 metres high, but the Austrian Federal Office for Metrology and Survey gives its height as 3,413 metres. The mountain lies in the Austrian state of Salzburg. It appears from the north, east and south as a gently curved firn summit, but from the west it has a mighty, 1,400-metre-high (4,600 ft) and 40 to 60° rock face. A steep, 500-metre-long (1,600 ft) knife-edge ridge bears away from the mountaintop to the north. Due to its close proximity to the Heinrich Schwaiger Haus, the summit is a popular viewing point. The peak was first climbed on 18 September 1869 by the Munich Alpinist, Karl Hofmann, the Prague businessman, Johann Stüdl, and mountain guides Thomas Groder and Josef Schnell from Kals am Großglockner.

The Klockerin, formerly also called the Glockerin or Glocknerin, is a twin-peaked mountain in the Glockner Group on the ridge of Fuscher/Kapruner Kamm in the High Tauern, a range within the Central Alps in the Austrian state of Salzburg. Its southwest top (Südwestgipfel) is 3,422 m (AA) high, its northeast top (Nordostgipfel) has a height of 3,335 m. The two summits are about 240 metres apart. A prominent arête runs westwards; the west-northwestern arête is a short, but knife-edge ridge of rock. The Klockerin has a mighty Northwest Face which is 920 metres high and has a gradient of 54°. The mountain is geographically dominant compared with the southern and western neighbouring peaks. Especially from the west, where the Mooserboden Reservoir lies, the Klockerin appears as a mighty massif. The mountain was first climbed on 18 September 1869 by German alpinist, Karl Hofmann, Prague merchant, Johann Stüdl and mountain guides, Thomas Groder and Josef Schnell from Kals am Großglockner.

The Sigmund Thun Gorge is a gorge in the municipality of Kaprun in Austria. It is up to 32 m deep and 320 m long. The gorge was formed by the Kapruner Ache, which is mainly fed by meltwater from several glaciers in the Hohe Tauern, and dates back to the last ice age. It was named after the former governor of Salzburg, Sigmund von Thun-Hohenstein. For the use of the jetties, which is only possible in the summer months, a small gorge toll must be paid to ensure their maintenance and care.
