Grossglockner High Alpine Road - turn by turn, curve by curve. The Grossglockner High Alpine Road leads right into the heart of the Hohe Tauern National Park, making it one of the most popular alpine roads in existence. Spanning 48 kilometers with 36 hairpin bends, it ascends to 2504 meters, features gradients of up to 12%, and offers breathtaking views of Austria's highest mountain, the Grossglockner. All of this attracts mountain and curve enthusiasts from around the world to Austria's highest paved mountain pass. The route crosses the two mountain passes Fuscher Törl and Hochtor, traversing the main Alpine ridge from Salzburg to Carinthia, specifically from Bruck to Heiligenblut, with branches leading to Edelweiss Peak and Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe. Stunning imagery, smooth driving pleasure, and a delight for readers. Who could tell the stories and historical backgrounds of the peaks and bends better than Stefan Bogner and Jan Baedeker?.
