On today's hike I'll take you to the Krimml Waterfalls. The Krimml Waterfalls are a special kind of natural spectacle. With a drop of 380m, they are the largest waterfalls in Europe and the fifth largest in the world. Once at the top there are various options for the way back. We opted for the old Tauernweg, there is the …

After two days of wonderful tours over hill and dale (in the truest sense) and many new experiences, the program with the whole family was back on the agenda. 🥰 With eight people between 19 and 84 years old and different fitness levels, it's not that easy to find the right one 🤭

The path goes uphill over roots and stones (less touristy than the waterfall path), and we then made the descent via the paved waterfall path (gravel path).

Our destination today was the Krimml Waterfalls. They are among the largest in Europe. The path winds through the forest along the slope, offering spectacular views of the waterfall from its viewing platforms. Once at the top, we chose the return route through the Alpsweg Tunnel and the Alter Tauernweg on the other side. This route has various sections, alternating …

Today we decided to do a smaller round due to the little dog's exhaustion. The ascent was unfortunately heavily influenced by tourism, unfortunately almost overcrowded in places. On the other hand, we really enjoyed the challenging descent over the old Tauernweg in peace. 😊 That would have been difficult to do even in sneakers or flip flops. 😅

With their enormous masses of water and a drop of almost 400 meters, the Krimml Waterfalls are among the largest in Europe. Even from a distance you can see how impressive the highest waterfalls in Austria are. 😯

An easy-to-walk path, accompanied by refreshing spray, leads past numerous viewing platforms quite steeply to the very top.

Although I've always taken it easy after a hearty breakfast 🥐 (after all, I'm on vacation 😉), today I was a bit unmotivated for the first time, so I didn't set off on tour until after lunch 🫕. My last previously planned destination was nothing less than Europe's largest waterfalls 🌊 ⬇️ with a drop of 380 meters 😲 in …
