history

The name of the village indicates its location as the valley entrance to Krimml. The old mule track from Mittersill as a trading hub over the Gerlospass (Pinzgauer Höhe) to Zell am Ziller led along the Sonnhang (expansion to Fuhrweg 1631, today Alte Gerlosstraße  B 165 ), so that Vorderkrimml was only important for the way to Krimml.

In 1807 the Salzach erupted in the Vorderkrimml area and flooded large parts of the forest valley floor. Following this flood, Emperor Franz I began regulating the Salzach in Oberpinzgau, which was completed in 1837 ( Kaiser-Franz Memorial Mittersill). In 1903 there were again severe floods (the Danube flood in 1899 was less serious in Oberpinzgau).

During the construction of the Pinzgau Railway in 1898, which represents a further development of the importance of transport for the small village, a continuation up to the touristically interesting and much-visited Krimml Waterfalls was waived. The main reason for this was probably the resistance of the Krimmler carters , who would have resisted the logical extension. They worked on the steep stretch between Vorderkrimml and Krimml and saw their business threatened. Thus, Vorderkrimml remained the transshipment point from rail to wagon until the interwar period - and also a place of entertainment, as the place name Bräuerhof shows.

In 1962 the new Gerlos Alpine Road , which crossed Krimml and was designed by Dipl. Ing. Franz Wallack , the builder of the Grossglockner High Alpine Road, was opened . Thus Vorderkrimml was suddenly on a supraregional traffic artery. Since the war, transport had primarily shifted to the road, and timber loading was finally shut down in 1998 (with the entire freight transport).

The Krimml station under renovation (2010)

Originally conceived as a pure regional transport and timber transport railway , Oberkrimml became the only public transport connection to the Gerlosplatte / Hochkrimml ski area in  1965 (today Zillertal Arena ) from the east, the western part of the new Hohe Tauern National Park in  1984, with the waterfalls, the The Krimmler Hochtal nature reserve and the entire western Venediger group , and also the starting point for the Tauern Cycle Path ( Pinzgauer cycle path concept  1990), which is why the route from Zell am See to Krimml train station is of great importance in terms of regional tourism and tourism.

In 1987 there was another flood of the century, also in 2006. After the July flood in 2005 (a locally stronger event than the great August flood ), Krimml station could not be reached by rail for five years. The Krimml station - like the entire Pinzgauer Lokalbahn - was operated by ÖBB  Personenverkehr AG until 2008 and was threatened with abandonment for many years, even before the flood damage, as was the case with many other branch lines in Austria. It was not until the state of Salzburg bought the railway in 2008 - the infrastructure was previously owned by the federal government and was owned by ÖBB Infrastruktur and is now owned by the state - and the takeover of operations by Salzburg AG ensured that the work in several places The completely destroyed stretch between Mittersill and Krimml was rebuilt. Since September 11, 2010, the Pinzgau Railway has been running again to its original terminus at Krimml station.

It is expected that the Oberpinzgau will travel 620,000 kilometers by rail and 420,000 buses annually, and it is hoped that a significant proportion of the 350,000 visitors who visit the Krimmler Falls and Hinterpinzgau each year will be able to use the rails. There are also plans to expand the air crank operation (WasserWunderWelt Krimml) at the waterfall. A project study on the extension of the route at least up to Krimml is in progress in the 2010s.

Krimml station

Krimml station during the time of the ÖBB (2002)

The Krimml train station is right at the exit of the valley, about half a kilometer southwest of the village ( ⊙ ), at the old Fuhrgasthof Marienhof on the Bräuerbrücke ( Kote  911 ⊙ ).

The Krimml station is served by the Pinzgauer local railway as well as by the post bus route  670/671. The Postbus also provides the connection to the Krimml Waterfalls and is synchronized with the railway operations . The station is unoccupied, tickets are sold on the train. Rail operations are coordinated by the dispatcher in Zell am See Tischlerhäusl.

Infrastructure and operations

The Krimml station was originally equipped with four tracks, since the reactivation it has had three platform tracks on two platforms. There is also a reception building with toilets and waiting room, a goods shed and a two-track locomotive shed, in which the non-operational Uh 7 steam locomotive and a reserve bogie for the Gmeinder D 75 BB-SE (Vs 8x) locomotives are located . An originally existing turntable was dismantled at the time of the ÖBB. As the terminus of the local train, the trains turn in Krimml station. The last train of the day spends the night here, and dormitories are available for the staff in the reception building.

As part of the reconstruction of the Pinzgauer Lokalbahn in 2010, the Krimml station was completely renovated and the reception building was largely returned to its original condition. In addition to the relocation of all tracks and the construction of a pebbled parking lot, all platforms were also rebuilt: There is now a wide house platform with a guidance system for the blind (tactile notches) and a narrow central platform; both with concrete paving. At the opening of the rebuilt line, the red locomotive mural painted by people with disabilities was unveiled at the goods shed .

Tourism and sightseeing

From the train station, the Postbus route 671 continues via Krimml and Gerlos Alpenstraße to Zell am Ziller , to the western end of the Hohe Tauern National Park, and the Gerlosplatte ski area ( Zillertal Arena ) is also served by this route.

For the cyclist, the Tauern Cycle Path is connected, which, coming from Krimml, leads along the Salzach or over the Saalach to Salzburg to Passau.

Numerous hiking trails lead from the train station, over the Gerlos, over the rear Salzach to the north into the Kitzbühel Alps , for example to the Salzachgeier (source of the Salzach) or over the Neue Bamberger Hütte and the Wildalpenseen towards Hopfgarten in Brixental in Tyrol. Via the Tauern cycle path (route no. 37, 11) it is approx. 3 km to the Krimmlfalls, the entrance to the Krimmler Achental and the Arnoweg . In the Venediger Group itself, there is only a marked path nearby to the Rinderkarsse above Krimml.

The place is known to geologists as the site of the Vorderkrimmler fluorspar on the Schloßberg, which was mined in the fluorite mine.
