Großglockner

Description of peak:
Großglockner, or Großglockner in German, is the highest peak in Austria and the High Tauern at 3798m. From the summit on which the cross stands, there is a beautiful view over most of Austria, and in good weather the view extends all the way to Slovenia, where you can see the Julian Mountains, Karawanks and part of the Kamink Savinja Alps.
Due to the relatively difficult access, the summit can only be climbed by experienced mountaineers with the appropriate mountaineering equipment. Below Großglockner, there is also one of the largest glaciers in Europe (Pastirica or Pasterze in German), which is more than 160m thick in some places.
Both the glacier and the Großglockner are clearly visible from the Großglockner-Hochalpenstraße, an Alpine road 2572m high.
