    The accessible Skywalk is located on a 7-meter-high, cantilevered metal platform at an altitude of approximately 1,483 meters (Parking Lot 6).

    From here, visitors can enjoy breathtaking views down into the Rote Wand (Red Wall) and have the opportunity to observe rare bird species such as the crag martin and the peregrine falcon.

    There can be some pretty strong updrafts here, so hold on to your hats and you won't have to worry about your hairstyle! 😜😂

    The Skywalk was also made accessible to everyone as part of the LEADER project "Experiencing Nature for ALL," allowing visitors to experience the wonderful natural surroundings of the Dobratsch Nature Park and the unique views of the surrounding mountains.

    This extraordinary encounter with nature is a very special experience for every visitor and also contributes to raising awareness of the importance of protecting and preserving our unique environment.

      The best way to reach the Skywalk is via the Villacher Alpenstrasse directly at parking lot 6. A 7-meter cantilevered metal platform at approx. 1,483 meters above sea level gives you a great look down into the red wall. At the same time, the platform is also used for bird watching. You might even see rare species like the rock martin or a peregrine falcon.

        Great view and foresight of the border triangle (exactly opposite).
