Directly on the Großglockner road in front of the toll station, the "Wildlife and Leisure Park Ferleiten" invites you to visit. More than 200 animals, native to the Alps, live here, and educational and display boards provide information about the flora and fauna in the region. Walking time through the park lasts around one hour. A large lake in the middle of the park with a viewing tower provides ample opportunities to have a pleasant and relaxing rest.

Even driving on one of the most famous roads in Europe is an unforgettable experience. The “dream road of the Alps”, as this is not wrongly called, leads through the Hohe Taurern National Park to the highest mountain in Austria - the 3,798 metre-high Großglockner. Over 48 kilometres and 36 bends, the road leads to the “Edelweißspitze” (around 2,500 m). After a ride with the Glacier Cable Car and a half-hour hike, you reach the Pasterze - 9km of perpetual ice!
