Krimml Falls (Krimmler Wasserfalle)
About
The Krimml Waterfalls, Austria’s tallest cascade, rise to an impressive 380 metres over three dramatic tiers in the High Tauern National Park. Visitors can follow the 4‑km Karst trail that winds through dense alpine forest, offering panoramic viewpoints, a short 10‑15‑minute walk to the lowest falls and plenty of photo opportunities. The site is open all day from mid‑April to late October, allowing travelers to experience the misty spray and the surrounding flora in a relaxed, family‑friendly atmosphere. A walk to the upper and lower falls offers a unique chance to feel the roar of the 166‑cubic‑metre‑per‑second gush, while the broad plateau beside the trail hosts a viewing platform with sweeping vistas of the valley. Whether you are a nature enthusiast, a photographer seeking dramatic water scenes, or a casual hiker looking for scenic beauty, the Krimml Waterfalls deliver a memorable Alpine adventure.
