Treppe ins Nichts

Also known as Stairway to Nothingness

The Treppe ins Nichts (Stairway to Nothingness) is a viewing installation on the Dachstein massif near Ramsau am Dachstein, where a staircase leads to a suspended platform over open air with the Styrian Alps dropping away beneath. The name is the marketing, but the view is real: the Dachstein plateau ends sharply, and the drop below the platform is dramatic.
