Old Großglockner Road

Highlight • Trail

The old Großglocknertstrasse leads from Heiligenblut to the junction to the Pasterze. Without cars, moderate incline partly on tar, later on gravel. Much nicer than on the Bundeststrasse!

June 24, 2024,Alte Glocknerstrasse Heiligenblut

Start in Heiligenblut and then over the Alte Glocknerstrasse, with a moderate climb of 7-12%, first asphalt then gravel. About 8 km on the Glocknerstrasse to the Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe at 2,369 m above sea level. Austria's highest mountain in sight, 3,798 m high, if there are no clouds ☁️ ☁️ blocking it. Same route back. Beautiful circuit with almost 1,100 meters …
