    #08 EN - Searching for traces

    In this episode, we discuss the Pass Sanctuary Hochtor, which also has an exhibition at the south portal, on the Carinthian side of the Hochtor. The exhibition invites you on a time journey through three and a half millennia, during which the Glockner crossing was the shortest trade route between Germany in the north and the world trade center Venice in the south. The exhibition was designed by Dr. Georg Kandutsch, who also found and prepared many of the exhibits himself – and today, he is guiding me through the exhibition. He describes himself as a hobby archaeologist because, as he explained to me with a wink at the beginning, anything you haven't studied properly shouldn't be called your profession. The philosopher Richard David Precht once titled one of his books: "Who Am I? And If So, How Many?" – Rarely has this applied so well to someone as it does to Dr. Kandutsch. My name is Max Kögl and I wish you much pleasure in this exciting episode – and by the way: Like all exhibitions along the Grossglockner High Alpine Road, the visit to the Pass Sanctuary Hochtor exhibition is free – so we are looking forward to your visit soon.

    #06 EN - Snow removal of superlatives

    Welcome to the Glocknergipfel - The podcast of the Grossglockner High Alpine Road AG. In this episode of our podcast, we discuss how the scenic road is made accessible to visitors again in the spring: Every year, incredibly large amounts of snow have to be removed and moved. In this episode, we hear about the challenges of snow clearing on the high alpine road - then and now, talk with Grohag employees about their daily routines, but also about the dangers, for example from avalanches, and how the road is made into a safe experience. Many thanks at this point to the team from "Servus TV" who provided us with some of the original interview recordings with the Grohag employees. We are pleased if you enjoyed it and would like to leave us a positive review on the podcast platforms or recommend Glocknergipfel to others.

    On a hike in the Hohe Tauern National Park with national park ranger Konrad Mariacher.

    In this episode of our podcast, Max Kögl visits the exhibition "BERG, DIE - Women on the Rise" in the visitor center at Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe together with curator Sibylle Kampl. Together we will walk through the various rooms of the exhibition and hear what prejudices the first Alpine pioneers had to struggle with and what dangers they faced due to the clothing conventions that were appropriate for their status but unsuitable for climbing and what drove the women to become summiteers despite all the resistance. Have fun with Austria's highest view!

    #01 EN - More than a road

    In the first episode of our podcast, host Max Kögl will "experience" the 48 kilometer long road together with Johannes Hörl, CEO of Großglockner Hochalpenstraßen AG. During the journey they talk about the highlights they see and what there is to experience on the road in Europe's largest national park. In mid-May - shortly after the snow has been cleared - you will also meet GROHAG employees, hut owners, but also the first guests who are looking forward to visiting the most beautiful adventure route in the Alps - and not because it is the shortest route from north to south - and is the fastest connection between the federal states of Salzburg and Carinthia, but also the most beautiful. Have fun with Austria's highest view!

    #08 - Spurensuche - Passheiligtum Hochtor

    In dieser Folge geht es um das Passheiligtum Hochtor dem auch eine Ausstellung am Südportal, also auf Kärntner Seite des Hochtors gewidmet ist. Die Ausstellung lädt zur einer Zeitreise durch dreinhalb Jahrtausende ein, in der der Glocknerübergang die kürzeste Handelsroute zwischen Deutschland im Norden und dem Welthandelszentrum Venedig im Süden war. Gestaltet wurde die Ausstellung von Dr. Georg Kandutsch, der auch viele der Ausstellungsstücke selbst gefunden und präpariert hat - und er führt heute mich durch die Ausstellung. Er selbst bezeichnet sich als Hobby-Archäologie, weil alles was man nicht ordentlich studiert sollte man nicht als seine Beruf bezeichnen, wie er mir gleich zu Beginn dann mit einem Augenzwinkern erklärt. Der Philosoph Richard David Precht hat ja eines seines Bücher mal betitelt: Wer bin ich? Und wenn ja wie viele? - Selten hat das so sehr auf jemand gepasst wie auf Dr. Kandutsch. Mein Name ist Max Kögl und ich wünsche Ihnen nun viel Vergnügen bei dieser spannende Folge - und übrigens: Wie bei allen Ausstellungen entlang der Großglockner Hochalpenstraße ist auch der Besuch der Ausstellung Passheiligtum Hochtor kostenlos - Wir freuen uns also auch wenn Sie demnächst vorbeischauen Die Website der Grossglockner Hochalpenstraße: [grossglockner.at](https://www.grossglockner.at/) Für Wünsche, Fragen und Anregungen schreiben Sie uns doch eine Email an: podcast@grossglockner.at
