Kitzlochklamm wasserfall
The Kitzlochklamm wasserfall is a beautiful waterfalls in a nice gorges. The Kitzlochklamm wasserfall is situated near the village Taxenbach, along road 311, in the region Salzburg, Austria.
The Kitzlochklamm is one of the many gorges that can be visited in Austria. Along the main road there is a sign for the Kitzlochklamm that brings you to a free parking within a few minutes.
At the parking there is a tourist shop and here you have to pay admission. In 2022 you had to pay an admission of €9 but with my Zell am See card (courtesy of my very expensive hotel…) the entrance was for free. It is mandatory to wear an orange helmet!!!
Within a few minutes you reach the highlight of the gorge, Kitzlochklamm wasserfall. Quite a high waterfall, but midday you are looking right into the sun. Not the best way to get good pictures… After the waterfall you are climbing your way up along the river, but this wasn’t the best gorge I visited. It was okay, but not very spectacular or very beautiful.
After 15-20 minutes you can walk further or take a path that leads to the entrance again. I choose to go back again. The walk isn’t very difficult and took me (roundtrip) 30 minutes.
Years ago I also visited the Kitzlochklamm wasserfall in May and the flow of the waterfall was quit respectable, but I have read of people that the flow in May can still be low. Best season to visit the Kitzlochklamm wasserfall is early summer/summertime when there is a lot of snow melting down the mountains.
The Kitlochklamm is a gorge with a length of 1500 meters and a height over 100 meter. Traveling through the gorge takes you along a trail of wooden stairs, plateaus and paths along the steep gorge. The gorge was formed thousand of years ago by the river Rauriser Ache and the Kitzlochklamm wasserfall is a really nice waterfall to see with a height of appr 50 meters.
The river Rauriser Ache flows from the south to the north. Best time to visit the Kitzlochklamm wasserfall is at midday when there is enough light to enjoy the gorge.
