Grossglockner High Alpine Road in Carinthia
Let's head for the queen of the Alpine roads, the Grossglockner High Alpine Road. The enjoyable warm-up begins on the challenging motorcycle kilometers between Hermagor and Greifenburg, whose ingeniously curved roads around the Kreuzberg mountain set the perfect curve mood early on.

The Mölltal Valley provides a lively introduction to the Großglockner adventure . At the toll station, two sections of the ticket are required to enter the world of this road construction masterpiece. Over 48 kilometers, 36 hairpin bends provide constantly new and breathtaking views of the incredible high alpine world . Austria's highest mountain invites you to an audience and presents its mighty height of 3,798 meters. For this, you should definitely drive to the Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe, which, in addition to a fantastic view of the Glockner, also offers a Bikers Point of the Motorcycle Region of Carinthia. Here, helmets and tank bags can be stored in lockable lockers , so that you don't have to lug any excess weight around during your tour of the visitor center.
At 2,571 meters above sea level, the Edelweissspitze is the highest accessible point and is also a must when visiting the High Alpine Road, as the view of more than 30 three-thousand-meter peaks is unique.
The return journey takes you along the Felbertauern Road, which offers a wonderful and quick return trip towards Tröpolach. Of course, a visit to the sunny town of Lienz, with its coffee houses and ice cream parlors, is a paradise for those with a sweet tooth.
Just the right boost to ensure a strong final sprint over the hairpin bends of the Gailberg .
