The Grossglockner High Alpine Road is a panoramic road in Austria. The most famous route through the Alps ends just before the jewel in the Hohe Tauern national park's crown: the highest mountain and the largest glacier in Austria, the Großglockner 3.798 m and its glacier, the Pasterze. You will have a driving and nature experience of a special kind on 48 kilometres of high alpine road with 36 bends, and an altitude ascent to 2,504 metres! You pass through a unique world of mountains with blossoming alpine meadows, fragrant mountain forests, massive cliffs and eternal ice to the foot of the Grossglockner, the Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe. The route is described in the brochure as a Bikers Heaven. The Großglockner Hochalpenstraße Road was built between 1930 and 1935, to fight unemployment and boost tourism in Salzburg. It is in within the Nationalpark Hohe Tauern. Closed in winter until end of October to beginning of May.

The Margaritze is a valley basin, which was formed by the Glacier Pasterze. It lies below the Glockner house, the detour of the Grossglockner road to Franz Joseph's height, at the Glacier road and is about 2 km below the end of the Pasterze. The basin collects the meltwater of the glacier Pasterze.

De Großglockner Hochalpenstraße is één van de mooiste bergwegen ter wereld en zeker de moeite waard om te bezichtigen. Deze panoramische tolweg verbindt de deelstaat Salzburg met Karinthië. De 47,8 km lange weg leidt middenin het Hohe Tauern National Park naar de hoogste berg van Oostenrijk, de Großglockner 3.798m en zijn gletsjer, de Pasterze. De Pasterzegletsjer is wel 10 km lang en heeft een oppervlakte van bijna 20 m2. De Großglockner Alpenstraße voert je door een wild en rotsachtig landschap. Maar liefst 36 haarspeldbochten zorgen ervoor dat je uiteindelijk tot een hoogte van 2.504 meter stijgt. Tijdens de rit wordt je getrakteerd op adembenemende uitzichten. Ook kun je genieten van de aanblik van enkele honderden bergtoppen van boven de 3.000 meter. Twee kilometer voor de Grossglockner onder het einde van de gletsjer Pasterze ligt de emerald groene Margaritze Stausee. Deze Stausee is een dam, die wordt gevoed door het smeltwater van de gletsjer Pasterze. Naast dit stuwmeer ligt een prachtige Kapel. Onderweg op de Großglockner Alpenstraße kun je eventueel stoppen bij verschillende uitzichtplaatsen en informatiepunten. Voor kinderen zijn er speeltuintjes en ook is het mogelijk om in echte sneeuw te spelen. Er zijn tevens 2 kabelbanen die je de mogelijkheid bieden om nog meer van de mooie omgeving te bekijken.

    The Grossglockner, Austria's highest mountain at almost 3.798 m, is an unforgettable experience. Next to the glacier of the Grossglockner is one of the highest chapels located in Austria. A little Chapel near mountain hut Pasterzenhaus. A beautiful isolated place for a chapel at 2.200 m. A chapel surrounded by beautiful panoramic views and high peaks of more than 3.000 meters. A secluded place of prayer for those who desire to be alone with God.

    For those who desire a place to be alone with God

    Naast de bergrug van de Grossglockner en naast het Margaritze Stuwmeer ligt een prachtige Kapel. Een kapel van natuursteen op een hoogte van 2.200 meter gebouwd ver weg van de bewoonde wereld. Een plek om wellicht in stilte te bidden omgeven door majestueuze bergtoppen.
