Krimmler Wasserfälle

Today was very warm, which annoyed me because I want it to snow so that there will be better conditions on the slopes.
Warm weather does make for a lovely breakfast on our balcony though.

After some discussion we decided that we would drive to Krimml and see the waterfall.

Research on the website indicated that access might be a problem for the winter. This is one minor annoyance I have living in Austria. "Winter" lasts from October through April, so many of the natural attractions are closed for 7 months out of the year. We learned that "closed" just meant that you did not have to pay to use the walkway.
The waterfall is a 380 meter drop and is Europe's highest waterfall. It consists of a "ground" level fall,

a "middle" fall,
and a "high" fall.

We hiked up to the middle fall and took a picture of the highest level fall. It is also part of the Hohe Tauern National Park system.

Happy me, the waterfall is on the southern side of the valley and therefore was not as exposed to so much sun (as opposed to the north side of the valley where the snow is already melting so much). It still felt much like a winter wonderland to me!
Amen!
