The story of the Krimml Waterfalls

The Krimml Waterfalls drop a total of 380 metres in three stages, making them the highest waterfalls in Austria and among the highest in Europe. They lie in the Hohe Tauern National Park.

The spray is so fine that the air at the bottom is rich in negative ions, and some studies suggest it may ease breathing for people with allergies. The well-made trail has many viewpoints close to the water.
