June 20, 2024,Wenn der Berg ruft - Großglockner

It has always been a dream to cycle at least part of the Grossglockner High Alpine Road. We were not disappointed, the feeling is indescribable.
The weather was ideal, the visibility was very good and the time was perfect.

October 4, 2022,Heiligenblut-Hochtor-Kaiser Franz Josefs Höhe

My first ascent with the RRad in the direction of the Großglockner🙂 although the temperature at this altitude was not necessarily suitable for biking, it was still a great ride and little traffic 👍

August 14, 2021,Tag 18: Zur Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe

Without luggage up up to Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe. In order to avoid the traffic for as long as possible, initially via the old Glocknerstrasse. Partly steeper, partly gravelly, but relaxed and traffic-free 😍
