The breathtaking viewing platform on the Krippenstein is definitely not for the weak-of-heart. Though it is for anyone who loves spectacular panoramas. Five different viewing platforms – in the shape of a hand – reveal once-in-a-lifetime views of the Hallstätter See and the landscapes of the Salzkammergut. The 5fingers are each about four meters long and were constructed above a roughly 400 m abyss. This attraction is easy to reach – just a 20-minute walk from the Krippenstein mountain station. Absolutely amazing photo motifs await you!
