Here are some hikes along the Grossglockner High Alpine Road.

90 years ago, on 22nd September 1934, it was possible to cross the Hohe Tauern mountain range by car for the first time. At the wheel was none other than the then governor and political visionary Franz Rehrl, accompanied by Franz Wallack, the planner and builder of the Grossglockner High Alpine Road, in the passenger seat. One year before the official opening, the two pioneers ventured on the first journey along the unfinished course of the panoramic road - a daring adventure in the Alps!

The Grossglockner High Alpine Road offers a relaxing drive where you can enjoy the breathtaking scenery to the maximum. Please adhere strictly to the speed limit of 70 km/h and help to ensure greater safety and the protection of animals and nature. (article in German only)

Karl Prantl, internationally renowned sculptor from Austria, would have celebrated his 100th birthday this year. To mark this special anniversary, Großglockner Hochalpenstraßen AG (GROHAG), in collaboration with Ferdinand Rudolf Porsche and Galerie Frey, is exhibiting two of his monumental stone sculptures made of serpentine Tauern green against the equally imposing backdrop of rock and mountain along the Grossglockner High Alpine Road in the Hohe Tauern National Park. A festival of high culture meets a festival of nature in the high mountains!

It's in the nature of things that dog owners and their furry friends spend a lot of time travelling in the great outdoors.

Because of course, man's best friends are also welcome guests up here!
