The Grossglockner High Alpine Road connects Bruck and Heiligenblut through Hochtor Pass (2,504 m / 8,215 ft) near Grossglockner, the highest mountain in Austria. (3,798 m / 12,461 ft).
The drive starts at the toll gate in Ferleiten in the morning, located north of Hochtor Pass, heads to Edelweissspitze (observatory for the Grossglockner) and Hochtor Pass, then down to Heiligenblut.
This is a remake of the video previously posted with noise reduced and color regraded.
The scene from Fuschertörl parking to Edelweissspitze was filmed when I returned from Heiligenblut, as clouds covered the top on the first visit.
The toll is 40 Euro, a bit expensive, but definitely worth it. (I purchased a 70 Euro 3-week pass)
The drive in the opposite direction with a clear sky will be posted later.
BTW, the reason why I didn't go to Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe this time, where we can see the clear look of Grossglockner, is that I missed that route when I planned my Europe tour using Google Maps aerial image. I wish to go there again next time.
