The Upper Pinzgau community of Krimml is located in the Hohe Tauern National Park vacation region at the foot of the Gerlos Pass and is widely known for the largest waterfalls in Europe. With a drop of 380 meters, the Krimml Waterfalls are an impressive natural spectacle - but the region has a lot more to offer:

Hikers will find unspoiled alpine pastures in the Krimml Achental valley, where rustic huts with regional delicacies entice visitors in addition to the wild and romantic nature. Those who prefer a leisurely ride home after a cycling excursion in the direction of Zell am See can board the Pinzgau local train.

In winter, skiing enthusiasts will find 147 kilometers of slopes in the Skiwelt Zillertal Arena, and there are also wonderful cross-country ski trails, toboggan runs and winter hiking trails to discover.

Tip:
Those who suffer from respiratory diseases will find a stay at the Krimml Waterfalls particularly beneficial.
