We didn’t linger here for long and continued on to the Krimml Waterfalls cascade. Approaching the village of Krimml, you can already see from afar the incredibly beautiful cascade of waterfalls among the mountains. The entrance fee is 3€, and the ticket office is located at the bottom, near the waterfall. The waterfall consists of 11 levels, surrounded by a magical forest with lovely little bells, sheer cliffs, and observation platforms where you can catch rainbows formed by the waterfall’s spray – all of this awaited us to conclude this long and eventful day.
Krimml Waterfalls (Krimmer) is a natural attraction within the High Tauern National Park. Water is a powerful element, and you witness it firsthand when you gaze at this roaring wonder of nature, shaking everything around with the thunderous noise of falling water and filling the air with myriads of droplets. The height of Krimml Waterfalls is 380 meters, and it cascades down in three huge sections. To see all three cascades simultaneously, you need to view them from a distance.
The lowest tier of the waterfall is accessible to all travelers. It takes some effort to reach the observation platform of the second tier, but the third and highest tier is conquered only by determined tourists over several hours, passing through picturesque panoramic platforms along the way. Krimml looks magnificent in sunny weather, with thousands of rainbows creating a delightful and magical atmosphere. Interestingly, in winter, the waterfall freezes, presenting a truly fantastic and enchanting spectacle. The air near the waterfall is very humid, and the spray is so strong that getting close to the bubbling stream is impossible.
