Grossglockner High Alpine Road

Highlight • Mountain Pass

You get a queasy feeling when you know that from here there are still more than 1800 meters of altitude to be overcome. Without flat piece. But each of them is worth it.

What a struggle to get up here, but the joy is even greater when you have made it and are standing at the top of the pass. Great panorama.
