The Krimml Waterfalls, one of the most stunning natural spectacles in the Alps, captivates with its three majestic tiers. Listen to the roar of the cascading waters and feel the mist on your face. At the top of the falls, tranquility takes over as you enter the serene Krimmler Achental. Here, you'll find beautiful alpine flora, high mountain meadows, and seemingly endless vistas. Your route leads to the Krimmler Tauernhaus, a historic way station on the alpine path. A national park taxi will then bring you back to the valley.
