Observing the beautiful things is an honour for everyone but it feels like a dream when it is related to nature. Everyone wants to enjoy the scenic beauty of nature but what will be your state of mind when you get the chance of watching amazing natural views from the height of 2,108 m. There are many such places in the world from which you can enjoy the beautiful views of nature. The name of one of those gorgeous places is 5 Fingers, which is situated in Austria. Actually, It is a free viewing platform which is situated in the Dachstein Mountains of Upper Austria. Due to its hand-like shape, the name "5 fingers" has been given to it. It is probably the most spectacular viewing platform in the Alps.
Every finger is approximately 4 m long except the third finger which is shorter than all the other fingers. First finger has a metal frame mounted on it, which helps visitors to take a framed photo of themselves. The second finger has a glass fitted on its bottom which allows visitors to look down through this transparent glass. The third finger has a springboard at the end, which symbolizes the freedom of the mountains.
There is a hole in the floor of fourth finger which gives you an experience of a free view into the abyss. And the fifth finger is equipped with a telescope which is available for everyone and free of charge.
The 5 fingers are illuminated until midnight and can be easily seen with the naked eyes as far away as the town of Hallstatt, even at night. The Starting point of this viewing platform is mountain station Krippenstein, from where you need only 20 to 30 minutes walk to reach there.
