Krippenstein
The High Krippenstein is a 2,108 m high, popular scenic mountain on the northern edge of the Dachstein mountain range in Upper Austria . It has the shape of a double summit : precedes the
High Krippenstein is 500 meters from a very rocky summit of 2,034 m, the so-called a transmission tower and carrying Pioneer Cross.. Not far from the main summit is a mountain chapel.
The limestone massif of the Krippenstein rises directly above the Lake Hallstatt (508 m), making a total of 1600 meters above the lake.

Dachstein Salzkammergut
The Dachstein Mountains is a mountain range in the Alps , as a collective term of the Alpine Club classification of the Eastern Alps
Dachstein Salzkammergut consists of a series of mighty peaks ranging from 2,000-3,000 meters in height, the highest being the 2,995-meter Hoher Dachstein. Popular in winter for its skiing and in summer for its hiking, the mountains are famous for their large (yet shrinking) glaciers, including the Grosse-Gosau and the Hallstätter glaciers.

Rieseneishöhle-(ice cave):
Highlights include the Giant Ice Cave (Rieseneishöhle) with its many great caverns and magnificent frozen waterfalls (try to visit during one of its regular underground music concerts), and the Mammoth Cave (Mammuthöhle) consisting of huge pipe-shaped galleries formed by an ancient underground river (guided tours last one-and-a-half hours). It contains 13,000 cubic meters of ice at 5,000 m² surface. In some parts of the cave, such as in Tristandom, the ice thickness reaches 20 m. pollen analyzes suggest an age of ice of about 500 years.

Hoher Krippenstein
From the Dachstein Caves, the cableway continues to the upper station, Berghaus Krippenstein, on the 2,109-meter Hoher Krippenstein. Fifteen minutes' climb above the cableway stands a small chapel built in 1959 with a bell commemorating a group of 13 students and teachers who died here in 1954.
Highlights of this ascent include the wonderful Welterbespirale, a spectacular viewing platform resembling a metallic ship that offers incredible panoramic views over the Dachstein mountains (comfortable sun lounges encourage you to linger).
Afterwards, it's an easy hike back to the 5fingers viewing platform, or one spend time exploring the Heilbronn Circular Trail.

5fingers:
Other highlights are the 5fingers viewing platform with its vistas of the Alps from a platform jutting out of the rock face over a 400-meter drop.
