Mountain lakes in the National Park
When the eternal ice retreats, STILL WATER is left behind.
The retreat of the glaciers has created up to 150 mountain lakes in the Karen and on the high plateaus of the Hohe Tauern.
Beautiful, like shimmering jewels, they lie there and feed the many roaring mountain streams, which then make their way down into the valley over waterfalls, through gorges and ravines.
The Grossglockner
It is the undisputed symbol of Austrian mountaineering dreams, the Grossglockner. The tour to its 3,798 m high summit and to the country's most famous summit cross is not only far and high, it is also technically demanding and therefore reserved for people who have a basic level of mountaineering ability. Many paths lead up and many steep slopes lead down again.
