Höhe Tauern National Park
Höhe Tauern National Park is Central Europe’s largest national park, which has as its centerpiece the 3,798-m Grossglockner, Austria’s highest peak. The immense territory under the national park’s watchful care appears positively primeval, with jutting bare mountains, murky glacial run-offs, plus acres and acres of ice. In fact, approximately one-tenth of the enormous park is covered year-round in ice, a glacier bed some 30 m deep – and thickening at a rate of approximately one millimeter per year.
