Krimml: Krimml Waterfall Trail - Hohe Tauern National Park

Anyone who says Hohe Tauern National Park must inevitably also say Krimml Waterfalls. Because they are certainly among the most spectacular and therefore best-known sights in the entire high mountain landscape. On this path you can experience the phenomenon “Europe's largest waterfalls and natural healing resources” in all its glory.

It starts at the ticket office of the Krimml Waterfalls. If you arrive by public transport, a bus will take you here directly. Once you have "checked in", you can take a short first detour down to the lowest waterfall level, the Kürsingerplatz. There you can really feel the power of water (and the associated drizzle). Then you hike uphill again to Gasthof Hanke and from there always follow the lookout path.

It's a good two and a half kilometers from here, steadily uphill. But you will hardly notice that. Because the viewing platforms that are waiting on the way give you magnificent views of the roaring, powerfully plunging water masses. Only from Gasthof Schönangerl does the path become a little flatter. So you climb up to the top waterfall step and on to the Schettbrücke, with the spectacular nature experiences never ending.

Sooner or later the walk leads to a driveway and you walk comfortably back out of the valley. Sure-footedness is only required on the Alter Tauernweg. Then you will soon be back at your starting point.
