Italy Seceda, South Tyrol
Seceda (2.519m) is definitely one of the most beautiful and most impressive mountains in the region of South Tyrol because of its unique shape, which looks like the earth was split in half and pushed beyond.
This viewpoint is one of the nearest which is perfect for modern photographer selfies because you can stand on that cliff in the middle of the frame.

Photography Tips
If you want to take a selfie, you need somebody else who takes the photo, because it's quite far away and you need around 1 minute from the photo spot to the spot to stand if you run.
For sunrise / sunset photos, you need to camp at the top or get a cabin, because the cable car is closing at 5:30 pm and you won't be able to get down there during the night with an estimated walk of around 4-5 hours.
If you don't want to have people in your photo (which is usually not a problem up there) and can't stay over night you might want to get there during the afternoon or early morning when the first or last cable car is available.

Travel Information
You need to leave your car at Sankt Ulrich and get up there with 2 separate cable cars. Both for up and down costs 30 Euros + 8 Euros for parking. You can also walk one or both parts of the way up/down but this takes quite a while. I would suggest to travel up and down and hike more at the alp itself.
Hiking around this place is quite exhausting, so be prepared and have enough water with you + sturdy shoes + sun protection!
