Heiligenblut, entrance of the Gross Glockner High Alp Route
Up the Glockner, weather getting worse
It's ok though, just a drizzle
But at the St Joseph station: a steady rain
The lower part of the former Pasterzen-Glacier is just a muddy brew nowadays
A hint of better weather to come on the northern side of the pass
It is 49 years ago I was at the same spot!
This and the following pictures: along the Glockner road




Almost down the Glockner Pass
On the way to Salzburg: Passing the mighty Hochkönig
One night in Salzburg: View from the Hotel window
