On the way to the lower waterfall you pass the photo spot "HOHE TAUERN PANORAMA TRAIL". A schematic photo frame offers a great view of large parts of the Krimml Waterfalls.

Krimml Waterfalls Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Waterfall

The PES asks for one euro. In winter partly very smooth. I was glad to have hiking poles with me. Crampons or snowshoes would be better.

The upper falls are a real natural spectacle. But not only the view of the upper falls is spectacular. An ascent is very worthwhile and always opens up new perspectives on the waterfalls.

... People people people 🤓 today 🙃 Tomorrow we're driving to Zillertal / Mayrhofen. We checked into the hotel and off we went. Via Hainzenberg -> Zillertal Arena -> Gerlos -> Gerlos Pass with toll 😲 😫 to the Krimml Waterfalls 🥰😍👍🏻. There's an "entrance fee" of course 🤭, in Iceland they're free, but the journey there is more expensive …

A wonderful sight 👍🏻, I recommend it to everyone....and I also recommend getting up early when visiting...at 8:30 we went up almost alone, when we came back down, there were so many tourists that we almost had to push our way through...

Very nice waterfalls. Due to heavy rain and extreme cold, 2/3 of the way was broken off and the descent was made.

A few years ago, it was already late in the evening, and a gigantic waterfall appeared in the distance. Unfortunately, the day was already very advanced and a visit was no longer worthwhile, but it definitely remained on my bucket list. Today was the day 🤗. With fantastic weather, nothing stood in the way of exploring this approximately 380m high …

With a total drop of 385 m, the Krimml Waterfalls are the highest waterfalls in Austria. You are located on the edge of the town of Krimml (Salzburger Land) in the Hohe Tauern National Park. They are formed by the Krimmler Ache, which cascades down in three steps at the end of the high Krimmler Achental.

A beautiful little strenuous hike at the Krimml Waterfalls in Austria. At the top of the Alm you are greeted in a friendly manner, the Alm also has delicious food and of course you have a beautiful view of the mountains and the wonderful waterfall. With luck you will get wet and see a rainbow. There is usually a circular …

Today there was a tourism magnet on the program. The Krimml Waterfalls. Beautiful and impressive. For us it only went as far as the Schönangerl because the hiking motivation of our boys was limited today. But in the end everyone was enthusiastic and showered with the natural remedy. The water worlds are also entertaining and recommended.

A beautiful hike, although it took me at least twice the stated time. 🤣 It's worth it, though, and the immense power of the water is always impressive. 💪👍
