Hiking

On top of the Krippenstein you have a phenomenal view of the Dachstein massif, which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997. Thanks to the Dachstein cable car, you can set the 1,600 vertical meters back from Obertraun at lightning speed and enjoy the view up here in peace and quiet.

From the mountain station it is only a short distance to the Krippenstein, where you will find the panorama platform of the Weltterbespirale. A little further along the path you come to the 5Fingers viewing platform with the World Heritage view of Lake Hallstatt. But this platform is not for the faint-hearted and only for giddiness-free hikers: Like an outstretched hand the 5Fingers protrude over the abyss and from the fingertips you have a breathtaking panoramic view of the valley and the surrounding mountains.

If you've seen enough of the panorama, it's back to the cable car and down to Obertraun. Of course, if you like, you can also join the circular hike to Heilbronner Kreuz.

Prices and departure times of the cable car can be found at https://dachstein-salzkammergut.com/de/

Mountain station of the Dachstein Krippenstein cable car

Highlight • Rest Area

In two sections, the cable car takes you from Obertraun via the Schönbergalm up to the Krippenstein. The gondola of the Dachstein cable car overcomes 1,600 vertical meters. The cable car has been running since 1951 and is open daily from late April to late October. There is also a restaurant up here: dachstein-salzkammergut.com/de/sommer/bergsommer/bergrestaurants-huetten/bergrestaurant-dachstein-krippenstein

Krippenstein Mountain Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

The chapel on the Krippenstein is dedicated to the 13-headed school class who died in the spring of 1954 during their trip to Krippenstein in a dramatic weather crash. The chapel has been standing since 1959 and in the bell tower a small bell hangs from Heilbronn, the hometown of the students.

On top of the Krippenstein stands the World Heritage Spiral. From the upper viewing platform you have an incomparable view of the world natural heritage Dachstein. If you like, you can take a photo with the built-in camera on the viewing platform and pick up your photo later at the top station of the cable car.

5 Fingers Viewing Platform

Highlight • Viewpoint

The 5Fingers viewing platform is shaped like an outstretched hand and juts out over the edge of the cliff. If you venture into one of the fingers, an incomparable view of the valley and Lake Hallstatt awaits you.
