Heiligenblut am Großglockner Must-Sees

This collection centers on the Grossglockner, Austria's highest peak at 3,798 meters, and the 8.4-kilometer Pasterze Glacier. The Grossglockner High Alpine Road provides access to the Franz-Josefs-Höhe viewpoint, while the village of Heiligenblut is defined by the 15th-century Gothic pilgrimage church of St. Vinzenz. The surrounding Hohe Tauern National Park features dramatic waterfalls like the 130-meter Jungfernsprung and numerous three-thousand-meter summits including Kleinglockner and Hohe Riffl.
