Which waterfall in Austria is a three-stage cascade with a total height of 380 metres?

Krimml Waterfalls are a three-stage cascade in Austria with a total vertical drop of 380 metres.

The falls are formed by the Krimmler Ache stream in the Hohe Tauern range of Salzburg state. Water descends through three major sections before joining the Salzach River system. The upper and middle sections are connected by a steep path that has made the waterfall a long-established visitor destination.

Krimml is often described as Austria’s highest waterfall by total height. That wording matters: the 380-metre figure refers to the combined descent of the cascade, not to one uninterrupted plunge.

The waterfall also has a scientific connection. Its spray and cool mountain environment have been studied in relation to airborne particles and respiratory health, although tourism and alpine scenery remain its main attractions.
