The world-famous Krimml Waterfalls are surely one of the most popular excursion tips in the Hohe Tauern National Park Holiday Region. The Krimml Waterfalls are the largest waterfalls in Europe with a fall height of 380 metres and are the fifth highest waterfalls in the world! Mighty water masses fall into the depths and in doing so draw impressive rainbows in the breathtaking natural scenery.

The landscape and the hiking trail of the Krimml Ache along to the waterfalls are worth the hike alone. The waterfalls are the icing on the cake - an impressive spectacle that casts a spell on everyone. A visit to the Krimml Waterfalls is recommended for families with children of all ages. Hardly anywhere else can the power of water be felt as close as here.

You also have the opportunity to hike to the upper end of the waterfalls at the entrance of the Krimml Achen Valley.  From the lowermost end of the waterfall, the “waterfall trail” twists and turns until reaching the uppermost waterfall and continues into the Krimml Achen Valley. Viewing platforms along the way provide spectacular views of the thunderous water masses of the Krimml Waterfalls. Fun facts about the waterfalls can be found on information boards.

From a health perspective, the waterfalls are particularly worth a visit for asthmatics, as they are considered a recognised natural remedy for lungs and respiratory tracts.
