König-Friedrich-August-Warte
A circular hike around the Krimml waterfall villageFrom the center of Krimml Wasserfalldorf, this circular hike takes you into the history of Krimml, to historically important places such as the lime kiln and the König-Friedrich-August-Warte.
The König-Friedrich-August-Warte was built by the Warnsdorf section of the German and Austrian Alpine Club in 1914 to commemorate the visit of the last king of Saxony, Friedrich August III. (1865 – 1932) built. Panoramic views of Krimml, the Krimml Waterfalls, the Krimmler Achental, the Seekar and the Salzach Valley reward the short climb to the König-Friedrich-August-Warte. This is located at a vantage point above the Falkenstein, a rocky hill between Krimml and Wald im Pinzgau, which was already inhabited in the older Bronze Age.
