The Hohe Tauern national park at the end of the 7 km long Großglocknerstraße boasts a new permanent exhibition
Image gallery: Exhibition “Grossglockner-Panorama”
Since 2017 the Hohe Tauern National Park and East Tyrol have a new attraction. At the end of the Glockner Panoramastraße in the "Glocknerwinkel" at 2,000 m a.s.l. a new info point of the national park and an interesting permanent exhibition were set up.
The main topics of the "Großglockner-Panorama" are of course
Mt Grossglockner and the "Big Five" of the Hohe Tauern national park. The 3,798 m high Großglockner is the "King of the Eastern Alps", as well as the highest mountain of Austria. As the "Big Five" are the five most fascinating animals of the African savanna, you can imagine which animals the "Big Five" of the Hohe Tauern national park are...
The "Big Five" of this national park are every bit as good as their African counterparts: the eagle with its impressive wingspan of 230 cm, the bearded vulture which is one of the biggest flying birds in the world, the ibex with its wonderful horns, the chamois with its extraordinary climbing abilities and the cute marmot. Other attractions not to miss are the educational path of the park, the panoramic platform and the beautiful hiking paths of the "Großglockner-Panorama" in the mountain world of the Glockner and Schober groups.
