Krimmler Ache Valley

The Krimmler Ache valley above the Krimml Waterfalls leads into the Hohe Tauern National Park and up to the historic Krimmler Tauern pass, a route that carried salt trade traffic, smugglers, and postwar Jewish refugees across the Alps depending on the century. The WasserWelten center at the falls base documents the valley’s natural and human history. Krimml is accessible by Pinzgauer Lokalbahn from Zell am See. Combine with the Krimml Waterfalls visit for a half-day Krimmler area experience.
