Dormio Resort Obertraun (AT)
Obertraun is a true paradise for hikers and mountain bikers. The choice is almost infinite! The mountainous area in which Dormio Resort Obertraun is situated, is extremely suitable for both a summer vacation during which you can dive into the lake near the park, and for a winter sports holiday. The area was added in 1997 to the UNESCO World Heritage list.
Dachstein – Five Fingers viewing platform
Not for weak nerves! The Five Fingers viewing platform offers an adrenaline rush at the highest level. This is probably the most spectacular viewing platform in the Alps and it stretches out like a hand at a height of 400 m above the abyss.
Every finger has its own feature
- In the first, tourists can take a picture of themselves in a baroque photo frame,
- The second has a glass floor providing a great view of the glaring chasm below you,
- The third finger has a slightly different form and is symbol for the “freedom the mountains offer”,
- Number four has a hole in the floor through which you can look down,
- And finger five provides the opportunity to glare through a telescope for free.
At night, the whole is illuminated phenomenally. But it is not only the viewing platform that has a lot to offer, also the route itself is worth your while. The journey by cable way to the mountain station is an experience on its own.
