In summer, it is also one of the best local spots to relax after a hike.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1153\" data-end=\"1223\">The water in the Durlassboden Stausee reservoir warms up to a pleasant 21\u00b0C in summer, making it a popular spot for summer swimming and water sports.

They are located on the edge of the Hohe Tauern National Park, in the federal state of Salzburg, Austria. The waterfalls consist of three cascades, with the highest single drop measuring 65 m. There is a viewing platform very close to the water at each section. Krimml Waterfalls A hiking trail about 4 km long runs along the waterfalls, starting in the village of Krimml, where we stayed for today&#8217;s trip.
