    The detour to Franz-Josefs Höhe above the Pasterzen glacier is a real highlight! The route is perfect to ride and the ascent at the foot of the Grossglockner over the tongue of the glacier is a great uphill ride. Even though the ice is many meters lower today than it was 25 years ago, the view has lost nothing of its fascination.

    The last forces have to be mobilized here again for this offense. You always have the goal in mind, which makes things even more difficult 🙈. But the view of the mountains is terrific.
