Grossglocknerstrasse

The highest peak in Austria is named Grossglockner (Big Bell) and they have built a street that goes up and provides a view. They charge 33 Euro for each car--so it is really a tourist thing. This is the entrance at the north end.
 This is an overview as you go up to the pass.
 The cows must have good footing because it is a long way down.
Here we are near the pass. 
 This is on the south side.
 Now the road goes up to the final look out point. This reminds me of the "going to the sun" road in Glacier Park
 Here is the Grossglockner with the gray galcier below.
 And here we are again.
