The Krimml waterfalls are a very special kind of natural spectacle that you really don`t want to miss on your hiking holiday in Pinzgau! With a drop height of 380 metres, they are the biggest waterfalls in Europe and the fifth biggest in the world. Hiking trail no. 40 leads you to the winding roads right next to the powerful bodies of water and creates an indescribable impression that you certainly won`t quickly forget! Souvenir photos can be taken from the numerous viewing turrets. Immerse yourself in the enormous power of the water amidst the fantastic scenery in the Hohe Tauern National Park!
Author’s recommendation
At the foot of Krimml Waterfalls, the fine spray kicked up by the water provides refreshment along with great photographs as souvenirs of this beautiful excursion.
From the entrance gate to the foot of the waterfalls, the pathway is handicapped-accessible.
You do have the option of taking the National Park Taxi to the top falls.
