Hohe Tauern Health
Incredible effect of the Krimml Waterfalls
Already 200 years ago, the water there was said to have a healing effect. Dr. Paul Oberlechner, a physician from Zell am See, recommended his patients to spend time close to the waterfalls in order to find relief or even healing for their asthma symptoms as early as in 1806.
The Hohe Tauern National Park Holiday Region with its project "Hohe Tauern Health" meets the current trend of health tourism and can position itself in the health care market in addition to being a wellness and well-being destination. The healthy environment of the Hohe Tauern can thus also be used for health tourism purposes.
