在萨尔茨堡逗留期间，我们决定去达赫斯坦地区进行一日游。它成了整个旅程中最难忘的经历之一。在探索神奇的冰洞和站在“五指”观景平台边缘之间，说实话，感觉就像走进了一张明信片里。第一站：冰洞我们的一天从冰洞导览开始。到达那里大约需要徒步上坡15分钟，这正好让我们在进入冰冷的洞穴前热起来。洞内我们参加了导游讲解，立刻被那种超现实的景象震撼：闪光的冰层、冻结的瀑布，以及在昏暗光线下仿佛发光的巨大洞室。我们的导游非常棒，讲解了洞穴的形成过程，并指出许多如果没有导游我们根本不会注意到的小细节。最酷的部分？他们居然在洞内的一个较大洞室里举办钢琴音乐会！我只能想象当声音在冰墙间回荡时，那种超现实的听觉效果。缆车登顶在外面稍微暖和一下后，我们乘上缆车，将我们送到克里彭施泰因高原。缆车本身就很美，随着海拔升高视野逐渐开阔。五指徒步从顶站出发，沿着小径大约徒步30分钟即可到达著名的“五指”观景点。小路本身令人惊叹，空气清新宁静，途中有许多观景点。然后突然映入眼帘的就是：像巨手般伸出、悬挂在400米深渊上的观景平台。走到“指间”上既刺激又有点令人紧张（尤其是带玻璃地板的那一处）。但回报绝对值得：俯瞰哈尔施塔特和湖泊的景色令人惊艳。那种景象会让人愣住，静静地把它全部收入眼底。为什么我喜欢这次一日游我真正喜爱这次旅行的地方在于它把所有元素完美融合。一点冒险（徒步和洞穴）、迷人的历史与地质知识，以及无与伦比的高山景观。而且从萨尔茨堡出发当天往返就能完成，十分便利。如果你在萨尔茨堡，想要体验自然、冒险和令人难忘的景致融合，冰洞与五指的组合是必去之选。有关开放时间和详情，请查看官方网站 ...
