Krimml-Wald

The core area of the national park is mainly used for nature conservation. In the outer zone, the cultural landscape of the mountain farmers plays an important role. However, the entire area is freely accessible and is waiting to be discovered on hiking and educational trails. The highest mountain in Austria, the 3798 m high Großglockner, towers above the region. Another highlight is the impressive Krimmler Waterfalls with a height of 385 m. In the "Nationalparkwelten" in Mittersill, you can find out interesting facts about the flora and fauna of the region. The children are especially happy about the interactive stations, where they can, for example, crawl through a marmot burrow.

The Hohe Tauern National Park vacation region is a paradise for mountain lovers. Hikers will find numerous routes of varying difficulty through the unspoiled, beautiful nature. Climbing at the many peaks over 3,000 m challenges even the most experienced alpinists.

Cyclists and bikers also have a wonderful choice of routes through the region. In the flatter areas, cyclists and families with children can go on leisurely trips. Mountain bikers will find paradisiacal conditions in the mountains of the national park: Steep climbs, great descents and beautiful single trails through a breathtaking and varied landscape await every brave outdoor enthusiast.

In winter, several large ski areas attract visitors to the Hohe Tauern, Kitzbühel and the Zillertal Alps. There are also great routes for cross-country skiers, winter hikers and ski tourers.
