A wise man once said (the wise man I this case happens to be Gandalf) 🧙🏼♂️ “All you have to decide, is what to do with the time that is given to you”. No, we don’t all have the same hours in the day as Beyoncé has or whatever people are saying at the moment. We each have our own circumstances and our own time, our own problems and our own stuff to try and figure out. But within the time that has been given to you, you can decide how to use it. I’m very proud to have grown up working class, seeing how hard my parents worked really shaped the person I have become. I’m not perfect and I don’t always use my time well, but I’m trying more and more to use my time on things I love, things that will help me towards my future goals, things that will help other people and things that will help the animals and the planet. I think those are the key things for me. I don’t really follow celebrities or pop culture, but I saw an interview of a girl saying “we all have the same day, you just have to work hard to get to where you want to be”. Or something like that. But for some people it’s harder than others. Your journey is yours and not one is the same as another’s. But starting small and striving for happiness and brining joy to the people around you is the best place to start. Let’s build the world on kindness ✨ I don’t know where I’m going with this caption; but I guess that’s my thoughts for the day 🤣 If you read this far put a “✨” so I know that you’re still with me down here 🫠😁🤣 . . . . . . . #vanlife #vegan #travelblogger #vanbuild #visititaly #dayinmylife #vanlifegoals #vanlifeuk #vanlifeitaly #vanlifeeurope #livinginavan #granolagirl #tinyhome #homeonwheels #travel #adventure #gltlove #sheisnotlost #nomad #digitalnomad #traveller #krimml #krimmlerwasserfälle #austria #áustria #inspirationalquotes #inspiration inspirational

The Waterfalls are simply amazing. The entrance is for a fee, and the parking is for a fee, unless you buy a combo ticket with the "Water Worlds" museum. You start at the bottom of the lowest part. It takes about 15 minutes of easy walk to reach it and it is impressive. At this point, you should know that in order to see the other parts you need to climb. You climb up, and every now and then, there is "an exit" to a viewing point (and each one is amazing).The climb is pretty steep, on a path that is suitable for strollers, and is difficult, although bearable and without aan actual flat surface up to view point number 8 (Schonangerl). In point 8, you will find some flat area, and some hut with a kiosk. In that point you can also come close to the water / sit on the rocks and enjoy the view. Kids will enjoy finding interesting rocks, or just throwing them to the river. From this point on the climbing become very very steep. Imagine high difficulty ski slopes, only you need to climb them. It is doable, but is pretty intensive. When you reach point number 11, the top, you come again to a flat surface. You can continue hiking from here. Going uphill, which is about 4km, took about 3 hours with stops, and a lunch break in point number 8, with 3 kids (5 is the smallest), when 2 of them were whining how difficult this is. Going back is pretty much downhill on the same path (another 4km). It roughly takes 1 hour and 15 minutes (with minimal stops) and puts a lot of pressure on your knees. So if you have sensitivity or some issues with them, you should consider not going uphill at all. There are other ways to reach point number 8. I saw some taxi busses(?) and as some other hiking trails that come to that point as well, but I don't know where they start. If you reach point 8, it might be enough if you are with kids. You can see most of the upper waterfall from that point, and considering the difficulty reaching the points above, this might be an overkill with kids, if they don't cooperate, or if you are already tired. I've added their photos, if you need to consider whether to reach them at all.

The Krimml Waterfalls (German: Krimmler Wasserfälle), with a total height of 380 metres (1,247 feet), are the highest waterfall in Austria. The falls are on the Krimmler Ache river and are located near the village of Krimml in the High Tauern National Park in Salzburg state. Krimmler Waterfalls is a tiered waterfall. The waterfall begins at the top of the Krimmler Ache valley, and plunges downward in three stages. The upper stage has a drop of 140 metres, the middle of 100 metres, and the lowest a drop of 140 metres. The highest point of the waterfall is 1,470 metres above sea level. The Krimmler Ache is a glacial stream whose flow varies greatly with season. Its volumetric flow in June and July is 20,000 m3/h (about 5.28 million gallons per hour), while in February it is only 500 m3/h (about 0.13 million gallons per hour). The greatest measured flow was on 25 August 1987, when it was 600,000 m3/h, or almost 160 million gallons per hour. After the falls, the river joins the Salzach, which flows to the Inn, then into the River Danube and finally to the Black Sea. To ensure that tourists could see more of the waterfall without difficulty, Ignaz von Kürsinger, from Mittersill, created a path to the upper part of the waterfall. In 1879, the Austrian Alpine Club improved the road to provide a more panoramic view. About 400,000 people visit the falls annually. The misty spray of the waterfall creates ideal growth condition for hundreds of mosses, lichens and ferns. The surroundings are the habitat for 62 bird species.

We headed for Krimmler Waterfall, the largest in Europe and fifth highest in the world apparently. The journey should have taken about an hour but the traffic was so bad it actually took two but we parked up next to the exhibition centre and went inside. I actually bought the wrong tickets and paid €10.20 when we should have just paid €4 for the waterfall as we didn't intend to visit the exhibition. The path to the waterfall was well signposted and the huge cascade of water and plume of spray meant even someone with my navigational disabilities would struggle not to find it. There were plenty of souvenir shops along the way and the path was quite busy considering the rain. The trail meandered up the side of the hill with periodic diversions to a viewing area and I went to each of these so Deb could make her way up at her own pace. The views were, obviously, spectacular but the photos are sadly not - the spray meant I didn't want to expose the camera for too long so most were just snapshots and therefore binned. We got to the top of the path and went inside the cafe but the outer viewing area overlooking the falls was closed and the inside was hot, crowded and sweaty so we left. We walked down the hill, this time taking time to look at various plants Deb pointed out to me, some green and some yellow and possibly other varieties too! We went into the cafe at the start of the path and I reluctantly indulged in Sachertorte with a coffee while Deb ate salad.

We recently visited Krimml Waterfalls, Austria’s highest waterfall and the fifth-highest in the world, and it was a stunning experience. We parked near the entrance—parking was free during the winter months, though we’re not sure when fees apply. From there, it was just a 10-minute stroll through the forest before we reached the falls. Seeing the frozen cascades and icicles hanging from the rocks was absolutely magical. At 380 meters high, Krimml is impressive in any season, but the winter setting adds a unique, almost otherworldly beauty. In the summer months, you can hike further up the trails for different viewpoints and a more immersive experience. Even in winter, it’s a fantastic stop for an hour or so, especially if you’re in the area and want to experience one of Austria’s most breathtaking natural wonders.

Our visit to Krimml Waterfalls was an absolutely amazing and incredible experience. The natural beauty and grandeur of the falls left us awe-inspired. However, a minor inconvenience was the lack of a payment machine, necessitating cash for admission. This led to an unexpected delay of around 30 minutes as we had to retrieve cash. Additionally, attempting to book tickets online beforehand proved futile, as an online booking system seemed to be absent. Despite these minor hiccups, the breathtaking beauty of the waterfalls more than made up for the inconvenience. I would highly recommend a visit here, ensuring you have sufficient cash on hand for a seamless experience
