Sendtner Kanzel Viewpoint, Krimml Waterfalls

Highlight • Waterfall

The wooden footbridge at the Sendtner pulpit leads almost to the waterfall. The short detour from the main path is recommended.

View of the Upper Krimml Waterfalls

Highlight • Waterfall

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.

July 10, 2025,Krimmler Wasserfälle - A „must see“ once in your life.

Quite touristy, but also beautiful. The descent on the west side is a bit tricky.
Add some time for viewing and photography.
Actually, there are a few more meters of elevation.

Unfortunately, this was a real tourist hiking trail. It is difficult to avoid the 7 Euro parking fee, but you can save the 16 Euro entrance fee for 2 people as a fee for using the trails by turning left at the hut (photo 2) and taking the route we took on our way back. The route is not as …

The Krimmer Waterfalls, with their 380 m drop, are known as the largest waterfalls in Europe. We reach them via the Gerlos Pass (toll road). From the waterfall center, a well-paved path winds uphill to the top of the falls. Along the way, you can observe this natural spectacle up close from several viewing platforms. Of course, you won't be …

If you do the tour in such a way that you first go up to the left of the waterfall, then you save the entrance fee. The path on the left is quite alpine in comparison, but no problem for experienced hikers.

First we went to the Krimmler water worlds (games and fun with water) then we went to the waterfall. We walked about halfway along the panoramic trail and then went back down to the valley via the ALTEN TAUERNWEG.

We took the train and bus to the Krimml Waterfalls, which were very beautiful. The occasional drizzle didn't bother us at all. On the way back, we took the Old Tauern Trail, which was a bit of a challenge in the wet, but our grandson enjoyed the walk. 👍

Uphill we walked the tourist route to the right of the fall. Thousands climb up there every …
