GROSSGLOCKNER HIGH-ALPINE ROAD
The Grossglockner High-Alpine Road is without doubt the most beautiful Alpine crossing between Salzburg and Carinthia.
At the heart of Hohe Tauern National Park, it is the region’ s tourist magnet. Some 1 million visitors drive the road annually, visiting interesting exhibits and nature trails, and experiencing the uniqueness of Austria’ s highest mountain. The Edelweissspitze, the road’ s highest point( 2,571 m), is a special spot. From here you have glorious vistas of over thirty 3,000 m peaks.
From the Fuscher Törl, one of the most scenic peaks, you can continue to the Fuscher Lacke and an exhibit detailing construction of the road. From the Hochtor, the summit of the through-road( 2,504 m), you may continue to Carinthia( Heiligenblut) or detour to the Kaiser- Franz-Josefs-Höhe( 2,369 m), where you can stand before Austria’ s highest mountain with a view of the Eastern Alps’ longest glacier, the Pasterze. The Visitor Centre, with its“ Fascination of Ice and Glaciers” display, as well as the cinema and Panorama Room, are well worth a visit.

Who is responsible for your mood?
Your day-to-day mood is neither a product of coincidence nor a predetermined fate. Rather, each day it‘ s in your own hands to achieve your optimal state of mind and performance level. How? With simple, mental techniques, you can learn how to actively influence your mood, emotions, and attitude.
For example, take a little bit of time every morning and look back over the previous day. Ask yourself the following 3 questions: What was something you did successfully? Which social moments stick in your memory? What was something wonderful you experienced? Think only of positive things! Your brain will be trained to think positive thoughts more often, so that you can develop an optimistic attitude.
Become independent of your dependencies, because it‘ s all about you! Concentrate on your resources, your opportunities, your strengths.
Psychotherapist and sports therapist Dr. Thomas Wörz, who was a mental coach for many world-class Austrian athletes, for example European judo champion and Olympic silver medal winner in Beijing 2008, Ludwig Paischer, and slalom world champion Marlies Schild, convincingly lays out in his latest work „ Die mentale Einstellung“ how to create an optimal state of mind and performance in the various aspects of life.
