Trail to Gjaidalm

Highlight • Trail

This walk is not a walk but not an excessive challenge. At the end the Gjadalm waits with its self-produced delicacies.

Lodge Krippenstein is located at 2,063 meters and only a two-minute walk from the mountain station of the Dachstein Krippenstein cable car. The former shelter was rebuilt in 2004 - and no savings were made on luxury. The perfect place to enjoy a delicious lunch at a proud height. It has not been too long since you can spend the night here. More information is available here: lodge.at

Dachstein Giant Ice Cave (Eishöhle) at Krippenstein

Highlight • Cave

After almost nine days of continuous rain, we were fortunate enough to be able to explore the caves. Enormous masses of water raged behind the waterfall – an impressive and loud natural backdrop!

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.

Soldiers' Cross Krippenbrunn

Highlight • Monument

The Soldier's Cross at the Krippenbrunn fountain is a silent reminder of the past and at the same time offers a quiet place to pause in the midst of the mountain landscape.

View of Lake Hallstatt

Highlight • Viewpoint

Even in mid-October there are still so many flowers blooming this year. And the cranberries are great!

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.
