One of Austria's top 3 destinations amidst the Alps The Grossglockner High Alpine Road is like an ornament of ribbons located between green mountain pastures, colourful flower meadows, rocky rubble, ice and show. It nestles up against hills, follows the course of the natural ground and fits the mountains like a glove. Whooshing waterfalls, the shrill whistling of marmots and the howling wind in the summit regions create an unforgettable high alpine soundscape. And then, all of a sudden, he appears: his majesty, the Grossglockner, the black mountain. Join us for a journey beyond compare up high to the perpetual ice of the glacier!

The roads are well-maintained thus the entrance fee is worth it. Mountain landscape is breathtaking and heavenly. One can make short stops spontaneously for clicking or snacks. Restaurants are in major hot spots.No boring moment because the weather was glorious: sunny and blue skies. It would have been otherwise had it rain. Serpentine roads. Water falls upon reaching the the top of Grosglockner !

For my family, weather is important in visiting this Austrian mountain glory. After waiting for a sunny, blue skies and temperature above 25"C, we headed-off for a road trip from Munich, Germany. Car entrance fee € 36.50. But it was worth it. Every curve is fascinating unfolding of mountain views just as in the postcards. There is always a viewpoint for taking photos along the way. Serpentine roads. Snowcapped mountain tops. Delightful indeed.For a landscape lover, this is one terrific park to be. Restaurants are in strategic places for stops. Roads are well-maintained. This was our short covid break. Glad we did it !

Once you have been strolling around the pedestrian zone have a visit to Landhaus, and start from outside, admire the beautiful courtyard, the towers, the arch, the proportions of the building. Enter it and... I won't anticipate anything, it's worth every minute of your time!

When you reach the base of the hill, you will have three options for climbing to the top of the hill. One option is to walk up the stairs. The second option is to take the elevator, which costs within a few seconds to the top of the hill (about two euros in the direction). The elevator is open until midnight. The third option is to board the funicular cable car. Traveling by cable car will allow you to enjoy the beautiful views of the old town of Graz while driving up. The ride takes about three minutes (costing about three euros). The train is active until 22:00 on Sundays, until midnight on Mondays to Thursdays and until 2:00 am on Saturdays. The castle was built around the 9th century CE and has passed through many people over the years, making changes of this kind. The castle you will see today is more or less the 16th century. To reach the castle itself, you will have to pass a 600-meter path that passes through 14 gates built in the 16th century. There is also a possibility to take the elevator, but note that the ride in the elevator is quite expensive. Take a guided tour around the castle, see the various royal rooms, the church and the armory. The admission fee is reasonable. Opening hours: From April to mid-May from 10: 00-17: 00 (last entry at 15:30), mid-May to mid-September Daily from 9:00 to 18:00 : 30), mid-September to the end of October every day between 10: 00-17: 00 (last entry at 15:30). How long should I visit? Between two and three hours. It is recommended to do a tour with guidance. Short and interesting. Must be arranged in advance!
