Krimml Waterfall

The highest waterfall in Austria is the Krimml Waterfall, which rises 380 meters in total. In Salzburg state's High Tauern National Park, close to the settlement of Krimml, are the falls on the Krimmler Ache river.

A tier-based waterfall is Krimmler Waterfalls. The waterfall descends in three phases, starting at the apex of the Krimmler Ache valley. The lowest stage drops 140 meters, the middle 100 meters, and the upper stage 140 meters. The waterfall's highest point is 1,470 meters above sea level.

Ignaz von Kürsinger, a resident of Mittersill, built a route to the higher portion of the waterfall so that visitors could easily view more of it. The Austrian Alpine Club upgraded the road in 1879 to offer a more expansive vista. Annual attendance at the falls is around 400,000. Numerous mosses, lichens, and ferns thrive in the optimum growing conditions created by the waterfall's misty spray. There are 62 different bird species that live in the area.
