A few minutes from the mountain station of the Dachstein-Krippenstein cable cars is the World Heritage Spiral viewing platform, which is equipped with cosy rest areas and loungers and invites you to relax and unwind at 2100 metres above sea level on the Krippenstein.
On a less strenuous, well-maintained path (suitable for children), you can reach the spectacular viewing platform with a
360-degree panoramic view of the Dachstein and the Salzkammergut in around 15 minutes.
The short hike from the mountain station to the World Heritage Spiral includes another viewing platform - the World Heritage View.
This is located above the Lodge am Krippenstein and offers a fantastic view of the Dachstein Glacier.
There are also cosy wooden relax loungers along the way that invite you to sunbathe.
The viewing platform World Heritage Spiral not only offers a fabulous view, but also provides information about various World Heritage Sites and their architectural and scenic features.
