Discover Oberkrimml: Water and Trails

If you’re looking for a hotel in Oberkrimml, you can plan your trip around water, scenery and outdoor activities. Highlights include the Krimml Waterfalls, the Krimml Water Worlds in Krimml, and the Krimml Panorama Trail, which leads from Krimml towards Oberkrimml. Each offers a different focus: nature, an interactive water experience, an exhibition and a hike. When choosing, it’s helpful to distinguish between these highlights and consider which ones you’d like to shape your stay.

Water in Nature and Exhibitions

The Krimml Waterfalls plunge 380 metres over three tiers and are the largest waterfalls in Europe. They are a distinctive highlight for anyone interested in water and landscapes during their trip.

The Krimml Water Worlds are an interactive excursion experience for the whole family, centred on water. The House of Water features the “Faces of Water” exhibition about the journey of water. Both attractions share the same theme, but offer different experiences: the Water Worlds focus on interactive activities, while the House of Water focuses on the exhibition. You can therefore include nature, interactive learning and exhibitions as separate interests in your travel plans. The family-friendly focus is explicitly highlighted for both the Water Worlds and the Panorama Trail.

Distinguishing Between Landscapes and Hiking

The Krimmler Achental is the longest and highest-altitude valley in the Venediger Group. These two features describe different aspects of the valley: its length and its elevation. The Krimml Panorama Trail, by contrast, is a family-friendly hiking route that leads from Krimml towards Oberkrimml. This puts a general description of the landscape alongside a specific hiking route as distinct highlights. If you’re planning to go hiking, the trail’s stated direction offers a practical link between Krimml and Oberkrimml.

Getting There and Planning Your Visit

You can reach the Krimml Water Worlds by car, the Pinzgau Railway, bus or taxi. There is a car park and a bus stop right by the centre. Check connections and practical details before setting off, as transport links and facilities may change.

The central section of the Gerlos Alpine Road runs for twelve kilometres from Krimml to the Pinzgauer Höhe pass. If you plan to use this section for your journey, check the seasonal traffic conditions. This lets you consider road travel separately from the stated ways of getting to the Water Worlds.

Practical Information for Your Visit

The Waterfall Centre has an observation terrace overlooking the Krimml Waterfalls. A combined ticket that includes parking fees is also available at the centre. Check the current ticket details before your visit.

The Krimml Waterfalls are accessible to visitors with reduced mobility; check the conditions for the specific route you plan to take before your visit.
