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.

Anton Wallner's birthplace

Highlight • Historical Site

It is best to rent the whole hut, up to 15 people. You practically live in the museum. Everything is very lovingly furnished down to the smallest detail. 👍🏾

That was one of the most beautiful tours since
long. We are now traveling with our three-year-old daughter and can no longer do larger tours. This was totz that we stayed in the tourist area without tourists! Except right at the waterfalls we were completely alone! Since this tour appears far away, there are hardly any places to stop for …

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 …

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. 😅

The early bird... Since rain and thunderstorms were forecast for the late afternoon today, we got up early and then didn't leave that early. After all, we first had to drive for an hour to then have a large selection in the parking lot.

The tour leads over the Kürsinger Platz (1,070 m) past the intermediate stations to the Schettkanzel (1,460 m). Wide path. There is a place to stop for a break here. The way back leads over the Engelsweg (forest path) back to the starting point. You need to be sure-footed here. I liked the change in the landscape and the condition …

June 7, 2025,🇦🇹 🌊 Europas größte Wasserfälle in Krimml (Fallhöhe 380 Meter ⬇️ 😲) und toller Alter Tauernweg 🤩🌲 - Tag 9

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 …
