This wonderful panoramic hike on the Dachstein Krippenstein to the viewing platform 5fingers is easy to hike and ideal for families.
Hike to the viewing platform for the special kick
From Obertraun you will conquer approx. 1 600 metres in altitude with the Dachstein Krippenstein cable car. Enjoy the fantastic view already here - first of all dense forest and then the beautiful karst landscape of the Dachstein Krippenstein.The hike begins directly at the mountain station. The well-maintained and signposted path leads to the right to the World Heritage viewing platform. The glacier presents itself beautifully in front of you and offers a great background for a souvenir photo.
Continue along a short ascent to the World Heritage Spiral and then turn left downhill to the viewing platform 5fingers.Here five differently designed footbridges - the 5fingers - await you.
Are you courageous and dare to go out? It takes a little effort, especially if you have chosen the footbridge with glass floor. You will be rewarded with wonderful views of Lake Hallstatt, Hallstatt and the Inner Salzkammergut.
Our tip: Take another two hours and visit the Dachstein Giant Ice Cave or the Mammoth Cave. You will be impressed! On hot summer days this excursion also provides the necessary refreshment.
Experience a 360° panorama tour of the Dachstein Krippenstein…
