Heiligenblut (1,300m)
in the mist.
The morning we tackled the Großglockner HochAlpenstrasse and
won (just). |

 |
Kaiser Franz Josef's Höhe
summit (2,369m) Misty,
murky, cold, wet, windy...
and the weather wasn't brilliant either! |
No way were we missing
getting a close up of this sign! |
 |
 |
The Hochtor summit
(2,504m)
This one took a lot of
reaching I can tell you! I'm finding it quite hard to stand here.
The wind's trying to blow me onto my face, and I can't explain how cold it
was!
As you can see, the view could have
been better :-(
|
 |
Plenty of snow up here
at the Hochtor tunnel entrance.
The roads were superbly
clear though. |
The owner of the restaurant at the
Fuscher Lake with his pet marmot. (Note: not taken on this
particular trip - the marmot was probably still hibernating!) |

Francesco approaching the Fuscher Törl
memorial. Then it's all downhill!
|
 |
Fuscher Törl on the
skyline. A last photo, then we were off. At
least it was less misty on this side.
|
|
Finally - time to
celebrate with the bottle of sparkling wine Sergio gave us back in Mel!
(well done to Francesco who carried it ;-) We
drank a toast to all our absent friends. |
