GROSSGLOCKNER HOCHALPENSTRASSE

This magnificent alpine road built in 1935, 48 km one way and costing 36-50 euros by car is probably the best experience of high mountain roads I've ever experienced. A joy from start to finish, we took 8 hours in glorious sunshine. An explosion of senses, nature at its very best and proving that " economic interests and technical endeavor need not destroy a landscape" the photos don't do it justice, sorry for overload!
