You will not have your luggage tonight at Krimmler Tauernhaus, so pack an extra set of clothes and toiletries for the night, and leave your bags at your hotel.
Start with a 2 hr taxi ride from Innsbruck to Krimml, in the Hohe Tauern National Park.
Start hiking south from Krimml from the Krimml WasserWelten center. Here you'll need to buy a ticket for the trail to the waterfall (15€).
Follow the path up along the Krimml waterfalls. They are impressive. Three powerful falls with a combined height of 380 meters make up the largest falls in Europe.
The trail passes various viewpoints as you rise higher along the falls and into the Achental valley.
After about 1500 ft of climing, you reach the valley. The final 4 miles are an easy stroll through this idyllic valley. You'll pass the Hölzlahner Alm restaurant and a variety of small farms along the way, with gorgeous views back into the valley, finishing your hike at the Krimmler Tauernhaus.
