WasserWelten, Krimml

Wow A must see wonder of nature. If your trip to Austria includes a bit of nature, this is a good candidate. It is a long drive but the way is also beautiful you get to see a lot of green pastures, nice roads and beautiful ski towns. There is a 10 Euros toll fee for a private car.. When you get to the parking lots you have a few options: Hike all the way up (and back down of course), take a taxi to the middle of the waterfalls and hike back down or take a taxi to the top of the waterfalls and hike all the way down. I combined options 2 and 3. Took a taxi to the middle of the waterfalls (7 Euros per person), hiked all the way up and then back down. The taxi ride is 5-10 minutes. Hiking all the way up is a bit tough and takes 30 minutes. Hiking back down is about 1 hour (more if you stop to rest and admire the view). Note that where the taxi leaves you at the middle station, you get a pretty good view of the waterfalls and on the way down you also have a few places to view it. The view from the top is not necessarily better but you get the satisfaction of the hike.

Take parking P4, get a token and buy a combo ticket for the Waterfalls and the museum. Your parking token will be validated at the counter and is fee is included in the price. We went to the very top of the falls and returned via the old trail on the other side of the falls. Nice walk and great views on the way up. The first part to the middle is crowded but once past there, the number of people drop significantly.
