View of the Lower Krimml Waterfall

When the sun is shining, the spray from the waterfall forms a beautiful rainbow. From here the view is perfect. The lowest waterfall of the Krimmler Ache forms two levels. The water falls down a total of 140 meters. The Krimml Waterfalls include three waterfalls. The total drop is 385 meters.

Upper Krimml Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

Serpentines lead up to the Oberen Achenfall. You can hear the roar of the waterfall from afar and can only imagine the force with which the water of the Ache hits 140 meters below. The fall edge is at an altitude of 1,460 meters.

Krimmler Ache before the uppermost waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

From June also nice in the summer months as a destination for all. Good to walk with children. Starting from the bottom you wind up to the very top until the very impressive waterfall turns into a strong stream. Or river? Where's the difference?. No matter. Continue following the course, not so long exhausting, then comes after another 30min to a very beautiful pasture with great food. Rested you can then tackle the way back. If that's too much, then the waterfall taxi can come. Definitely worth a visit. Think of eventual Kurkarten which enable one then also for free parking. But nobody tells you, so just talk about it. And you can make the waterfall ticket directly in front of the waterfall. Not in the square on the street where there are eternal snakes.

Krimmler Achental Valley

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

A beautiful valley with many possibilities - Tauernhaus, Warnsdorfer Hütte, Richter Hütte, Plauener Hütte. Almost every hut can be reached in a day trip. This means that tours can be planned very flexibly. On historical paths through the Krimmler Achental it is even possible to cross into South Tyrol. In 1947, around 5,000 Eastern European Jews used this escape route to get to Palestine via Italy. The Peace Trail was set up in memory of this and starts directly at the Tauernhaus.

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 30, 2025,#Krimmler Achental - Wanderung zur Söllnalm

Today was the first dry day, and we visited the Krimml Achental Valley. Our tour started from a free parking lot in Krimml. After buying our tickets for the hiking trail, we were able to enjoy the three-tiered waterfall from various vantage points. It was simply impressive how the masses of water make their way down. The trail was quite …

Coming from the waterfalls, the first two pastures are more geared towards tourism and seemed a bit overcrowded. If you take another 10 minutes of additional walking time, you will be rewarded with a rustic little alpine pasture. The Söllnalm is beautifully situated, offers delicious food, a toilet and one or the other curious cow. An alpine pasture as it …

The Krimml Waterfalls and a section along the Krimmler Ache were our tour today.
These waterfalls offer an impressive natural spectacle.
The valley along the Krimml is also beautiful and countless alpine pastures invite you to take a rest.
The tour was 16 km with an elevation gain of 660 meters. GPS didn't work at times.

Today I hiked along the breathtaking Krimml Waterfalls into the flat, beautiful Krimml Achental valley, first to the Hölzlahneralm, where I stopped for a baked potato with sour cream dip and salad, and then a bit further to the Söllnalm. It was incredibly warm. The sun was so fierce that a hat would have been a good idea. I wasn't …

Today a tour without a bike. The weather played along and gave us a sunny day😎. We walked to the Krimml Waterfalls, along the Ache to the Achental. Breathtaking panoramas opened up! One highlight after the other. Then you think, now it can't be topped anymore and you were surprised again. We think it's an impressive area 🗻🏘⛰

Rainy hike to the roaring Krimml Waterfalls 🌧🪨💦

After three days of rainy weather, cabin fever became too much and the thought arose: if it's wet from above, why not go hiking where it's probably already wet 🤔💭

So the choice went to the Krimml Waterfalls. The hope was that the waterfalls would carry a lot of water with them …
