グロースキルヒハイムの天然記念物・トップ20

One of the major transnational long-distance hiking trails in this region is the "ALPE-ADRIA-Trail", which leads from the Großglockner over the Nockberge Mountains to Slovenia and further south of Trieste, then to the Mediterranean Sea. Anyone who would like to take a closer look at the first glimpse can follow the route in the ARD media library: there is a two-part (one-hour total) documentary about this tour as part of the Bavarian television program "freizeit. Schmidt Max ...". with their scenic and cultural features.

The path is worthwhile and is rewarded with wonderful views

Pleasant experience

The climb is worth it

Relatively easy to climb 3000m. The starting point for the mountain hike is the Alpengasthof Lucknerhaus, from there you can reach the summit in about 3 hours.

This viewpoint in the Hohe Tauern is named after the visit of the imperial couple Franz Joseph I and Elisabeth, Sisi, in 1856. The 26-year-old monarch wanted to see the Pasterze and hiked for four hours with his entourage from Heiligenblut up the 1,100 meters in altitude to the point where this event can still be seen carved in stone today. It is the Kaiserstein on the Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe. At that time, the Pasterze reached just as far as today's Freiwandeck car park and further down than the current Margaritze reservoir. Empress Elisabeth was content with a ride from Heiligenblut over a good 800 meters in altitude up to the Bretterboden, which was then called Elisabethruhe after her visit. In 1876, the Klagenfurt Alpine Club section built the Glocknerhaus on this spot with space for 40 people. During the construction of the Grossglockner High Alpine Road, a dead-end road was built by 1932, and the road was led around the next Riedel directly to the Pasterze. The actual Franz Josefs Höhe was built there. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-H%C3%B6he

The Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe owes its name to the Habsburg regent, who visited the province of Carinthia in 1856 together with his wife Empress Elisabeth, known as Sisi. On this occasion, the mountain-loving monarch went on a hike of several hours from Heiligenblut, which took him to the edge of the Glockner Glacier Pasterze. This spot, from which His Majesty Franz Joseph admired the 3,798 m high Grossglockner, is named after him. Today you can easily reach the truly imperial vantage point on the Großglockner High Alpine Road by car, motorbike or bus and, in addition to the mountains and glaciers, you can observe numerous cute marmots and, with a bit of luck, the impressive ibex. https://www.grossglockner.at/gg/de/grossglockner/kaiserfranzjosefshoehe
