The Hohe Tauern represent the most magnificent and rich in forms of chains in the Eastern Alps, in which the provinces of Carinthia, Salzburg and Tyrol share. The big breakthrough to build a national park in this area, was the signing of the agreement of Heiligenblut by the provincial governors of Carinthia, Salzburg and Tyrol on 21 October 1971 dar. Due to the conflict of interests between the national park and ecology but its creation was delayed until 1984 On the northwest edge of the national park, in the area of ​​the municipality of Krimml, are the Krimml waterfalls, the highest waterfalls in Europe and thus a natural monument of European importance. Already since the 19th century they are in the area of ​​tension between the use of energy economics and the idea of ​​nature conservation. Decisive for the preservation of this imposing natural spectacle was the award of the "European nature conservation diploma" by the Council of Europe. This award was also responsible for the inclusion of the Krimml waterfalls in the Hohe Tauern National Park.
