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.

Upper Krimml Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

Serpentines lead up to the Oberen Achenfall. You can hear the roar of the waterfall from afar and can only imagine the force with which the water of the Ache hits 140 meters below. The fall edge is at an altitude of 1,460 meters.

From June also nice in the summer months as a destination for all. Good to walk with children. Starting from the bottom you wind up to the very top until the very impressive waterfall turns into a strong stream. Or river? Where's the difference?. No matter. Continue following the course, not so long exhausting, then comes after another 30min to a very beautiful pasture with great food. Rested you can then tackle the way back. If that's too much, then the waterfall taxi can come. Definitely worth a visit. Think of eventual Kurkarten which enable one then also for free parking. But nobody tells you, so just talk about it. And you can make the waterfall ticket directly in front of the waterfall. Not in the square on the street where there are eternal snakes.

Krimmler Achental Valley

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

A beautiful valley with many possibilities - Tauernhaus, Warnsdorfer Hütte, Richter Hütte, Plauener Hütte. Almost every hut can be reached in a day trip. This means that tours can be planned very flexibly. On historical paths through the Krimmler Achental it is even possible to cross into South Tyrol. In 1947, around 5,000 Eastern European Jews used this escape route to get to Palestine via Italy. The Peace Trail was set up in memory of this and starts directly at the Tauernhaus.

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.

View of the Lower Krimml Waterfall

When the sun is shining, the spray from the waterfall forms a beautiful rainbow. From here the view is perfect. The lowest waterfall of the Krimmler Ache forms two levels. The water falls down a total of 140 meters. The Krimml Waterfalls include three waterfalls. The total drop is 385 meters.
