• Closely associated with the Krippenstein are the three caves: Ice Cave, Mammoth Cave, and the Koppenbrüller Cave. On hot days, they provide the perfect cool down.
• On the summit of the Krippenstein, you will find a daring viewing platform, the 5fingers. Only the bravest dare to look down on Lake Hallstatt from here.
• If this view is not quite to your liking, you might feel more comfortable at the World Heritage Spiral. A resting place with relaxation loungers for those who enjoy the view after the strenuous gondola ride.
• The shark in the mountains, the Dachstein Shark, is one of the popular photo points and makes for a great addition to a photo album of your vacation in the Salzkammergut.
