Dachstein Sky Walk, Austria
From series “The World's Highest Observation Decks”
Dachstein Sky Walk was built for admiring the amazing Alpine scenery in Austria. The location of the site is Dachstein glacier, or rather, the edge of Hunerkogel cliff being 300 meters high. The viewing platform is 2700 meters above sea level; its original design provides an opportunity to enjoy views of four corners of the world. In clear weather you can see not only the surrounding mountains in all their glory, but also the territory of neighboring states, Czech Republic and Slovenia.
Many travelers know this observation deck as 'balcony of the Alps.' It's worth noting that this balcony isn’t protected from the wind, making a tour to it even more realistic and memorable. The construction is armed with a steel platform, so the observation deck is very durable and resistant to wind gusts. It's surrounded by metal railings for safety. It’s very convenient to hold them, while watching miniature objects on the bottom of the abyss.
