The Hohe Tauern are one of the most famous high mountain regions of the Eastern Alps, featuring massive glaciers and two of Austria's most renowned peaks, the Grossglockner and the Grossvenediger. In the glacier-free terrain, hikers will find a true paradise of trails in the presence of the "Eternal Ice." The 56 selected routes in the Rother hiking guide "Hohe Tauern" lead to the northern parts of the Glockner, Granatspitz, and Venediger groups, along the eastern edge of the Zillertal Alps, into the area around the Wildkogel, and into the foreland of the actual national park up to the Salzach Valley. Destinations include numerous tranquil mountain lakes, cascading waterfalls, impressively situated huts, and, of course, peaks with views of the ice giants and the magnificent glacier world. Sepp Brandl, known as a reliable and competent hiking guide author, has compiled a diverse program of tours.
