5fingers, WeltNATURerbeblick, Welterbespirale, Dachstein-Hai - Dachstein-Krippenstein - video
The second station of the cable car departing from Obertraun is the Krippenstein peak (2100 m). Here you can find the famous 5fingers lookout, which offers a unique view of Hallstatt and Obertraun below, as well as the Hallstättersee lake.
There are two more lookout points here, the Welterbespirale (World Heritage Spiral) and the WeltNATURerbeblick (World NATURE Heritage Lookout).
The Dachstein Shark (Dachstein-Hai) is more of an experience for children, as you can go inside. There are several great hiking trails in the area. I only had time to walk back to Obertraun, instead of taking the cable car, until it got dark.

The first station of the Dachstein Krippenstein cable car, which starts in Obertraun, in the southern part of Lake Hallstatt, is Schönbergalm. Here you can find the Ice Cave and the Mammoth Cave. The latter is not named after the now extinct relatives of elephants, but rather because of its enormous size.

Echernwand Klettersteig - Hallstatt, Austria 5.18 km away
I climbed the via ferrata on the Echernwand rock wall at dusk. This route is located above one of Austria's most beautiful lakes, and above Hallstatt. The iron climbing route was quite challenging at times, with the most exciting section being the Roll-dachl, an exposed rock formation, shaped like a nose.
