Hiking

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.

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.

Circular route at the Krimml waterfalls. They are the largest waterfalls in Europe. Very impressive👍

A great round with breathtaking perspectives. The first part of the trail is steeply uphill on well-maintained trails. Hiking poles can help here conditionally. The tunnel at the top is 300m long and not illuminated. A cell phone light doesn't really help. An exciting experience to go through. Then the descent begins, initially on very well-developed paths. From the middle …

142 pictures 😂🤣, had to be today. One of the highest waterfalls in Europe. And didn't take the tourist route back but the path that the Celts built in 2000 BC.

I walked the circular route. I was out very early and therefore there were few tourists who also walked this route. Many only went as far as the Scheitbrücke and turned back there. I continued through the Alpweg tunnel, however, over the forest road or the cycle path from the Tauern Cycle Path. At the Scheitbrücke you come back to …

Our destination today was the Krimml Waterfalls. They are among the largest in Europe. The path winds through the forest along the slope, offering spectacular views of the waterfall from its viewing platforms. Once at the top, we chose the return route through the Alpsweg Tunnel and the Alter Tauernweg on the other side. This route has various sections, alternating …

The path goes uphill over roots and stones (less touristy than the waterfall path), and we then made the descent via the paved waterfall path (gravel path).

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 ascent is sometimes very steep (don't underestimate the elevation gain!). You'll be rewarded with spectacular viewpoints overlooking the Krimml Waterfalls.
