Grossglockner Road Attractions Grossglockner-Hochalpenstrasse

 
The Grossglockner Road (Grossglockner-Hochalpenstrasse) from Bruck in the Pinzgau to Heiligenblut at the foot of the Grossglockner was constructed between 1930 and 1935, and has been steadily improved and developed since then. It is one of the most magnificent mountain roads in Europe, and although its importance as a north-south route through the Alps has declined since the opening of the Felber-Tauern Road and the Tauern motorway, both are which are open in winter (tunnels), it is still a splendid highway through the Hohe Tauern, Austria's highest mountain massif and one of the country's outstanding attractions.
