At 380 metres drop height, the Krimml Waterfalls are Europe's highest — a natural spectacle awarded the European Diploma in 1967 and today part of Hohe Tauern National Park. The Krimml Ache plunges into the valley in three mighty stages; the fine water mist that rises from them is scientifically proven to be beneficial for the respiratory tract. A day trip where you feel the Alps in motion.
The Waterfall Path — from base to crown
The classic waterfall path starts right at the car park and winds upward in well-laid switchbacks along all three falls to the Krimml Tauernklause at 1,470 m. Total ascent: approx. 440 metres, walking time to the top about 1.5 hours. For a shorter version, walk only to the second fall (approx. 45 minutes) — that's where the most dramatic view is. Observation balconies along the path bring you so close to the roaring water that you feel the fine mist on your face.
WaterWorld Krimml
Right at the entrance of the waterfall path sits WaterWorld Krimml — a modern science centre all about the element water. Interactive stations, a water park for children, and the 'Aqua Sphere' for older visitors make it the ideal start or finish to your visit. Especially welcome on rainy days. Open in summer and easily combined with the waterfall visit in a single trip from Salzburg.
Health in the water mist
Studies by the Paracelsus Medical University Salzburg have shown: the fine spray of the Krimml Waterfalls contains electrically charged water droplets (negative ions) proven to ease allergy symptoms and respiratory complaints. An hour's walk in the mist is as beneficial as a session in a salt cave. Best moment: early morning, when the sun hits the droplets at an angle and rainbows stand over the water.
Your Transfer to the Krimml Waterfalls
The Krimml Waterfalls sit approx. 150 km southwest of Salzburg — deep in the Salzburg Oberpinzgau at the border with Tyrol. We pick you up at your hotel and drive in about 2 hours via the A10 and the Gerlos Alpine Road to the national park. Your driver waits while you explore the falls at your own pace. Included in the €600 price: round trip, up to 7 hours waiting time, all toll fees (including the Gerlos toll road). Optionally combinable with the Zillertal on the return.
