Ninety seconds on Krippenstein
The 5fingers platform is five steel walkways built out over a drop of about five hundred metres. In cloud the plateau is just fog, so pick your day.
A marked path leads from the mountain station to the 5fingers. Each walkway is four metres long and one wide, built out from the cliff edge.
The World Heritage spiral and the viewpoint are on the same short loop. The Dachstein shark is further round the Heilbronner trail.
Weather changes fast at this height and the plateau has almost no shelter, so dress for it.
