"When you go on a road trip, the trip itself becomes part of the story.”
Steve Rushin

The Grossglockner Alpine Road, opened in 1935, is still one of the most popular attractions in the Alps.
This scenic and dramatic 48 km route is a breakneck serpentine of 36 hairpin bends.
The road is included in the list of the most dangerous and spectacular roads in the world.
The road leads into the heart of the Hohe Tauern National Park and winds its way through the unique mountain landscape.
