Grossglockner High Alpine Road

The Great Bell Glacier Highway in Austria is a huge monument to the architectural art of alpine highways. With a total length of 48 kilometers, it is located in the center of the Highland Tauern National Park. It is a glacier in the Eastern Alps with an altitude of 2571 meters. Snowfields in midsummer, curious marmots on the roadside, majestic glaciers, rushing waterfalls, and magnificent views on the Alps: the world-famous Glacier Highway of the Great Bell Mountain, just over 100 kilometers away from Mozart in Salzburg, Located in the heart of Austria. Those who visit the Great Bell Glacier Highway will also follow in the footsteps of the Habsburg family, with Emperor Franz Josef trekking to the "Pass Heights", later renamed the Kaiser-Franz-Joseph-Highlands. In a small place below - at the Glocknerhaus - the "Elisabeth Ruhe" of the memorial is reminiscent of Sissi's Rest in Peace.
