Votters Fahrzeugmuseum (Votter's Vehicle Museum), Zell am See (must see)

The Kaprun Car Museum is nestled within Vötter’s Hotel, spanning an impressive 1000 m². It boasts a collection of over 150 miniature car models, ranging from the post-WWI era to the 1970s, showcasing the ingenuity of the German and Austrian automotive industries. Helmut Vötter, the founder, began this collection in the 1980s with a BMW Isetta model. Over the years, Vötter has passionately collected and meticulously restored each car, preserving their authenticity and functionality.

The very BMW Isetta that started it all is proudly displayed in the Hotel lobby, a testament to its status as the most popular small car of the 1950s. Visitors can also marvel at intriguing models such as the Porsche 356, Jaguar E-Type, and Mercedes 190 SL. A dedicated section of the museum celebrates Volkswagen cars, while another highlights the quirky and fascinating Messerschmitt bubble car, designed by Fritz Fend.

Since its opening in early 1996, the museum has become a must-see attraction in Kaprun, captivating car enthusiasts and casual visitors alike.
