It was named "5 Fingers" by virtue of its hand-like shape. It has been called the "most spectacular viewing platform in the Alps."

The viewing platform is less than a 20-minute walk from the Krippenstein Station of the Dachstein cable car line. My personal opinion is though, that after visiting Preikestolen in Norway, this wasn't very heart-bounding at all. : 2016, AUT, Austria, Fujifilm, Itävalta, Krippenstein, LG G3, Oberösterreich, UNESCO, Winkl, digital image, kesäloma, luonto, maisema, matka, mountains, nature, phone image, scenery, summer holiday, traffic, vuoristo
