D.A.C.H.-meeting day 4 (28.7.2020)

Actually only an A.CH. meeting, since our German girlfriend had already left us on Monday. Today we are going to the “Glockner”, Karin is accompanying us again and we had arranged a meeting with Hanna, who lives near the Glockner. Luckily we met her on the main road, which is a single-lane road with several hairpin bends, which Hanna calls a “motorcycle route” (;)).
After a short rest at Hanna’s beautiful house and a visit to her converted “fire engine” we took a small connecting road, from where we could already see our destination, to the Grossglockner High Alpine Road and then first up to the Franz Josefshöhe, from where the retreat of the glacier was visible even to the untrained eye.

On the Edelweiss Peak, the reaching of which was quite tricky for a small part of us, we enjoyed a well-deserved lunch.
Afterwards we went over the Fuschertörl to the Hochtor and a bit in direction of Bruck an der Glocknerstraße.

Arriving at the end of a traffic jam on this very wide road with well developed hairpin bends, we had to realize that the road must have been closed somewhere, so we turned around, drove back on the Carinthian side and said goodbye to Hanna near her home. We all enjoyed this day very much.
