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.

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.
