Hochtor Pass and Tunnel

Highlight • Mountain Pass

At 2,504 meters, the Hochtor marks the highest point of the Großglockner High Alpine Road. In summer, countless hikers, cyclists and drivers come here to enjoy the magnificent view. The state border between Salzburg and Carinthia lies in the middle of the Hochtor Tunnel. On the south side of the Hochtor you can visit an interesting exhibition: For thousands of years, the Glockner crossing has been the shortest trade route between north and south. There is also a souvenir shop and a catering area next to it.

Brennkogel Summit

Highlight • Summit

If you still have enough strength in your legs, you can take this peak with you when you are on the Carinthian Anniversary Trail. The path does not lead directly over the summit, but about 200 meters below.
But it pays off!!!

Eissee (Hohe Tauern National Park)

Highlight • Lake

A small lake next to the path, in which the last bits of snow from winter are still swimming. Ideal for cooling off on hot summer days.
