Grossglockner High Alpine Road is indeed high

To get to Italy we took the Grossglockner High Alpine Road.
On our side of the Alps it was rather cold and rainy. I was a little worried because we could not see anything!


After crossing a certain point, however, it started to clear up.


There were waterfalls everywhere.


There are several breathtaking views. There are places to overnight and lots of opportunities for Alpine hiking!


As much as I wanted to see a Murmeltier the only ones I saw were on this sign.


The glacier. There is an overlook where this picture is taken as well as the opportunity to hike down to the glacier.


Perhaps my most exciting find was Edelweiss growing naturally!
