NEWSBRETHTAKING VIEWS OF THE GLOCKNER
A trip to the summit of the Stubnerkogel in Bad Gastein never ceases to
be rewarding: Enthroned right across from the 140 meters-long
suspension bridge, which sways gently in the wind, is a new, attractive
viewing platform with a name that says it all - Glocknerblick, the
"Glockner View".
"It was the enthusiasstic response of visitors to the new suspension
bridge, which gave us the decisive impulse to enrich Stubnerkogel
lookout mountain with one more attraction", states lift company
executive, Franz Schafflinger. The Glocknerblick viewing platform should
be completed by July. To those visitors who dare to make their way all
the way up there, it affords fantastic views of Austria`s highest
mountain, the Grossglockner.
This round, scenic "plateau" is seven meters in diameter, made mainly
of steel and wood. On its sides, wire-mesh fences provide additional
safety for visitors, but do not obstruct the view. The upper area, which
actually protrudes out over the edge of the mountain, also features
glass apertures in the floor, allowing visitors to peer down into the
abyss below.
Franz Schafflinger: "Not something everyone will be prepared to try,
especially if you have issues with vertigo!" The new platform is
accessed by a walkway that climbs gently.
