Krimml: Zillertalarena - Plattenkogelexpress II - Bergstation

Tucked into the upper Salzach valley beneath the Hohe Tauern, Krimml is a place whose character is shaped by the Krimmler Ache and the force of its waterfalls. The Krimml Waterfalls descend in three main stages for a total of 380 metres, making them Austria’s highest waterfalls; their spray and roar are central to the settlement’s identity. The watercourse runs from the high-alpine Krimmler Ache valley before joining the Salzach near the village. A maintained waterfall path follows the successive cascades, while the WasserWelten Krimml visitor centre examines water as a natural resource. Krimml also borders Hohe Tauern National Park, a protected alpine area shared by Salzburg, Tyrol and Carinthia.

Salzburg is renowned in Austria for its UNESCO-listed Baroque capital and the musical legacy of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Beyond the city, the Salzach runs south through broad valleys and market towns before the land rises into the Northern Limestone Alps and the Hohe Tauern. The province includes much of Hohe Tauern National Park, Austria’s largest national park, where high alpine terrain meets traditional pasture farming. Salt shaped Salzburg’s prosperity for centuries, while Hohensalzburg Fortress remains a defining landmark above the historic centre. Winter sports and summer hiking bring out the contrast between river valleys and mountain country. Explore other webcams in the region to compare landscapes and settings around Salzburg.

Austria stretches from the Bohemian Massif along its northern edge to the Carnic Alps on the Italian border, encompassing high Alpine ranges and the Danube lowlands. The Danube links cities including Linz and Vienna, while the Grossglockner, at 3,798 metres, is the country’s highest mountain. Vienna developed for centuries as the seat of the Habsburg court, leaving imperial architecture around the Hofburg and Schönbrunn Palace. Salzburg is closely associated with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was born there in 1756. Alpine Tyrol, wine-growing areas east of Vienna and the lakes of Salzkammergut add markedly different regional identities.
