5 Fingers, Mountain observation deck in Obertraun, Austria.

5 Fingers is an observation platform jutting out from a mountainside at approximately 2,100 meters (6,890 feet), extending over the Hallstatt valley and surrounding peaks below. The structure consists of five individual fingers, each offering distinct views from slightly different angles.

The platform was built in October 2006 and marked the start of a new form of alpine tourism in this region. Since then, it has become a recognized attraction for visitors to the Dachstein area.

Each of the five extended platforms presents different viewing experiences, including a glass floor section and a classical picture frame overlooking Hallstatt.

From the Krippenstein Station of the Dachstein cable car, a marked trail leads to the platform in under 20 minutes. The five arms are about 4 m long and cantilever over a drop of roughly 400 m, so hold the mesh railings and keep children close. The deck stays lit until midnight.

The second finger, counting from the left, has a glass floor set into it so visitors can look straight down the roughly 400 m drop. The third finger is shorter than the others and cannot be walked to the end; it is shaped like a diving board and is meant to stand for the freedom of the mountains.
