Glocknergipfel Großglockner Hochalpenstraßen AG

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.

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.

In today's episode, our host Max Kögl meets the two curators of the exhibition "Construction of the Road" in the road keeper's house at Fuscher Lacke. Sibylle Kampl and Andreas Zangl guide the listeners through the exhibition and talk about the two visionaries Franz Rehrl & Franz Wallack and their motivations for realizing the Großglockner High Alpine Road; But also about the difficult working conditions in the high mountains and in times of economic crisis.

On a hike in the Hohe Tauern National Park with national park ranger Konrad Mariacher. With an area of 1,856 km², the Hohe Tauern National Park is the largest national park in the entire Alpine region and one of the largest protected areas in Central Europe.
Today our host Max Kögl will be given a short tour by Konrad along the hiking trail from the Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe to the Wilhelm-Swarovski viewing platform.
We would like to thank the Hohe Tauern Carinthia National Park for their cooperation and support in the creation of this episode.

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!
