Krimml Waterfalls

[1] The falls are on the Krimmler Ache river and are located near the village of Krimml in the High Tauern National Park in Salzburg state.

The waterfall begins at the top of the Krimmler Ache valley, and plunges downward in three stages.

In 1879, the Austrian Alpine Club improved the road to provide a more panoramic view.

The misty spray of the waterfall creates ideal growth condition for hundreds of mosses, lichens and ferns.

[3] There is a negative impact on the local residents due to the high traffic level in a small village, and because of erosion to the road.
