Lower Krimml Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

Nobody stays dry at the foot of the Krimml Waterfalls. From Kürsingerplatz, which can also be reached barrier-free, you can watch the extreme masses of water that fall about 140 meters into the valley at the lower Achenfall. The finest water droplets in the air create an impressive play of light and soothing cooling on hot summer days.

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.

Hölzlahneralm

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Hut

The picturesque Hölzlahneralm sits enthroned above the world-famous Krimml waterfalls. Hikers can reach it after about 2 hours on foot via the three impressive waterfalls in the idyllic Krimmler Achental. Stopping there is recommended because you will not only be treated to refreshing drinks and hearty snacks, but you can also enjoy idyllic panoramic views. The culinary specialties come exclusively from the national park area and offer an authentic insight into Pinzgau cuisine.

Old Tauern Trail (Krimml Waterfalls)

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The old Tauernweg lives up to its name. It is more than 4000 years old and served as a trade route and later as a military supply route. Well maintained, it is the perfect alternative for the completely overcrowded tourist path along the waterfalls with appropriate footwear. Be careful when it's wet, it gets quite slippery here!

September 15, 2023,Achenfall Krimmler <> Hölzlahnerhütte🇦🇹 🏚1578HM🏞🔝
The Krimml Achen Falls are Austria's highest waterfall with a height difference of 385 meters. They are impressive the world over and are fed by glaciers, so the amount of water varies depending on the season. In summer, especially in June and July, the waterfall is at its most powerful, while in winter, especially in February, it has less water.

The Krimml Waterfalls are a great excursion destination, if you go up the hiking trail you have many beautiful viewpoints, a very nice experience. From the waterfall to the Hölzlahnehütte is also very beautiful. We will definitely do it again and it is highly recommended.
