Eisriesenwelt Wefen
At the end of the nineteenth century the caves were only known to hunters and poachers. Not until 1879 did Anton Posselt, a natural scientist from Salzburg, 200 meters push into the darkness of the caves and officially "discover" the Ice Caves. One year later he published a detailed report of his discovery in a mountaineering magazine, but the caves then slipped back into obscurity.>>more info
The Grossglockner
At 3.798 m the Grossglockner is not only the highest mountain in Austria, it also counts among the highest peaks in the Alps.
The pyramid-shaped Grossglockner lies behind the slightly smaller Kleinglockner (3.770 m), separated by a saddle-like formation known as the Glocknerscharte. The first ascent was in 1800 but victory and defeat accompanied other expeditions. The Pallavicini Trough is named after Alfred Margrave Pallavicini, who met his death on the Glockner in 1886.

Salz Welten
We ride up on to the mountain in the panorama funicular to trace the mysterious power of attraction of this mystical area. The path leads to the tunnel mouth and into a unique underground world: many kilometres of tunnels, which people had once opened by hand more than 3,000 years ago, lead deep into the rockface interior.
