The Krimmler Waterfalls are easily one of the most impressive in Europe. Crashing down the mountainside in three powerful tiers, dropping 492 feet, 331 feet and 425 feet respectively. The three tiers can only be seen collectively from a good distance off, however, each can be seen up close from a trail system that climbs up the valley.
