Overview
We head to Mittersill where we board the Pinzgau train, which takes us to the town of Krimml.
For more than 100 years, this narrow gauge railway has been winding along the picturesque Salzach Valley to the Hohe Tauern National Park and the Krimml Waterfalls. These falls are the highest in Europe and the 5th highest in the world. Walk down to the base of the falls or follow the trail up the side for a close-up experience of this breathtaking spectacle.
This is a must for photographers and nature lovers. Don’t forget your brolly, as even on the sunniest days there can be quite a lot of spray!

Thoroughly enjoyed our holiday although the title was a bit misleading. We ended up on one of the trains only. Drivers Geoff and David were very professional and helpful.
