Krippenstein with Dachstein caves
Von Obertraun leads one in three sections cable railway almost to the 2,100 m high summit. The famous Dachstein caves (Eisriesenhöhle and Mammuthöhle) are located above the Schönbergalm at around 1,400 m and can be reached with the first section of the cable car.
A steadily sloping one opens up from the Krippenstein Family hiking trail (Road) the karst plateau to the Gjaidalmbahn valley station. (Official walking time 3 hours, but can also be done in 1½ hours if you run briskly). The path leads on Heilbronn Cross past. The cross is reminiscent of an Alpine tragedy in 1954. When the weather suddenly changed, 10 students and 3 teachers from Heilbronn died on the plateau. The 3rd section of the Krippensteinbahn takes you back comfortably from the Gjaidalm to the Krippenstein.
The new one is also worth seeing "5fingers" viewing platform, on the Krippenstein. From the platform in the form of a hand you can look into a 400 m deep abyss and have a great view over the Inner Salzkammergut with Lake Hallstatt.
