Artificial intelligence (“AI”) systems may be used on this website to support the creation, editing, translation, structuring or presentation of content and the provision of individual functions.

Unless otherwise stated directly with the relevant content or function, texts created with AI support are reviewed for content by a natural person, editorially approved before publication and published under the responsibility of the website operator.

Krimmler Ache – “The Jewel”

“The Jewel” of our waters originates at an altitude of about 2,500 m at the Krimmler Törl and runs above the waterfalls for a length of approx. 15 km right through the Krimml Achental valley. A natural fly fishing water with a meadow river character and a width of 10–20 m awaits you. Short mountain stream-style sections are easy to navigate.

Below the waterfalls, amidst beautiful stone pine forests, you will find a mixed mountain stream with medium and large pools; these are a bit more difficult to navigate, but won’t deter a true fly fisher.

This beautiful water is a protected nature area and may be fished by a maximum of 10 fishers per day. Catch and release applies to the entire stretch. Reservations requested.
