Our destination is a mountain in distance. Photo taken from bottom station of cable car.

Cable car overcomes nearly vertical wall, offering interesting views.

The first cable car stops at place where it is possible to visit (at least) 2 caves. But we are heading to second cable car that will take us even higher.

Ideal conditions for lazy walkers opens up there after stepping out from the 2nd cable car. It is possible to walk for quite long time without much strength needed, while karst limestone and distant mountains offer beautiful views.

But then, you can decide to do proper mountain hike too. Actually, Dachstein in title of his post is in distance and we don't plan or have time to get there. So it is lazy walk for us today.

Cable car heading closer to Dachstein.

Dachstein glacier in distance. It is pity we had clouds around the tallest mountains.

Several paraglaiders were launching here, this one was a bit unlucky with wind.

Hallstätter See

Cloudy mountains did not offer much of view, but other direction got proper amount of clouds of correct sizes and shapes. They nicely decorated hills and lake Hallstätter See down there

Five Fingers. Viewing platform offering amazing views.

Ice Cave

We visited Dachstein Ice Cave at the end of our hike and it was very nice ending. This is second ice cave I have visited (other one is in Slovakia - Demänovská Ice Cave). I think the one in Dachstein is slightly less interesting, nevertheless it is worth to visit it.
