Krimml is situated at an altitude of 1067 m on the river Krimmler Ache in the Zell am See (Pinzgau) district in western Salzburg.
The famous 
Krimml Waterfalls (Krimmler Wasserfälle) [background] are the highest waterfalls of Austria.
The waters of the Krimmler Ache drop down over 380 m in three steps of 140 m, 100 m and 140 m. In 1967, this natural sight was awarded the
Nature Conservation Diploma of the Council of Europe.
The parish church Sankt Jakob [centre] was built in Gothic style. The first church on this site was already mentioned
in a document of 1244. Krimml became an independent parish in 1891. The main altar of the church holds a late Gothic Madonna of 1480.
