Road cycling
The Grossglockner High Alpine Road is on the bucket list of many road cyclists. The long climb will put you and your legs through a real test. Are you ready for it? Then you can hop on your saddle in Zell am See and warm up for a while.
The climb begins in Bruck, at an altitude of 750 meters. Your goal: the Fuscher Törl at 2,428 meters. Pedal by pedal, you pedal your way up – 14 hairpin bends await you. You'll be surrounded by a stunning landscape – although you might not be able to fully enjoy it until you reach the top. Then you'll have more than earned the mountain panorama and the view of the winding road.
The descent into the valley is quick, and a quick detour to the Oberstatt Alm for a snack is worthwhile. At the end of the route, you'll roll around Lake Zell. Challenge accomplished!

Conclusion of my tour diagonally through Germany. Unfortunately it started to rain shortly after the start. If I hadn't handed my rucksack over to the luggage bus, I probably wouldn't have gone up there, but would have cycled straight away towards Munich. So I tormented myself up the Großglockner …

But the fact that everyone has to do it is an absolute curse!!!! And that in a national park.
😤 Absolute madness!
No approach that anyone here thinks about, neither the users nor the operators! The summit is then really the …

This was fun. Perfect weather. Left at sunrise back for lunch. In the beginning i though I had paced it too conservatively but above about 2000m the thin air really made it quite hard. Even lowering the effort as much as …
Well, finally, the time had come. Day x was just around the corner, a day late. And so I headed up high with my sweet 🐭. My 🐭 was really dreading this tour and asked if it would be okay if she turned around at turn 1 (small goals are goals too). But from the start, I had …
