Join this year’s trip to Dachstein, which is the highest mountain in Styria and Upper Austria. In addition, the famous town of Hallstatt is on our schedule.
We’ll go up the mountain by cable car and have a guided tour in English in the Mammoth Cave. Afterwards, we are going to the spectacular viewing platform 5fingers. There you’ll have a wonderful view of the Hallstättersee lake and the Salzkammergut, which is a UNESCO World Heritage.
In the afternoon, we will visit the well-known town Hallstatt. It is so beautiful that the Chinese built a replica of it. The town of Hallstatt could develop because of the salt deposit nearby. Salt is still mined there today.
WHEN: Saturday, 07th October 2017, from 07:30 a.m. until 09:00 p.m. the latest
MEETING POINT: at 07:15 at Franz-Graf-Allee (next to the Opera house)

Here is a little guide about the Dachstein trip with several important remarks:
Please bring your confirmation sheets which you got during sign-up
Please make sure to wear good shoes (no Flip-Flops or something like that!)
Take warm clothes because it is cold in the cave and on the mountain (2995 meter); on the mountain there may be snow
Bring an umbrella in case of rain
Prepare some snacks and beverages because it will be expensive in the restaurant on the mountain and we may not have enough time to get food there
Bring sun screen if it is sunny
Don't forget your camera
Happy mood and lots of excitement!
