For other uses see 5 Fingers (disambiguation) 5 Fingers is a free viewing platform on the Krippenstein that was named "5 Fingers" by virtue of its hand-like hand shape. It is called the "most spectacular viewing platform in the Alps" because the individual, approximately 4 meters long fingers were built over a precipice of about 400 m (1200 ft) depth. The "fingers" are about 12 feet long and were built over a chasm of about 400 m (1200 ft) depth. The viewing platform can be reached through a walk of less than 20 minutes from the Krippenstein station of the Dachstein cable car line.
