WUNDERBAR WALK - LUCKNERHAUS TO STUDLHUTTE, GROSSGLOCKNER

Our best ever hike today, we drove 14 km to Kals high up a narrow valley then drove up and up and up to the Hohe Tauern National park at  Lucknerhaus.
A three hour hike up and two hours back, 10 km total and the most amazing trail. We hiked first to Lucknerhutte where we managed a coffee, then up to Studlhutte, set high on a saddle with Grossglockner so close and looking almost possible to climb. 
So amazing to get so close, we were at the other side of Grossglockner from the other day on the Hochalpenstrasse. 
Stunning flowers, crystal clear rivers, snow fields and glorious sunshine, we could not ask for more!
