Fuscher Törl
A viewpoint on the northern section of the Großglockner High Alpine Road at 2,428 m, with a road-building memorial and Fuscher Lacke below.
The Fuscher Törl is a mountain pass viewpoint at 2,428 m on the northern section of the Großglockner High Alpine Road, on the Salzburg side. The platform holds a stone memorial designed by architect Clemens Holzmeister to honour the workers who lost their lives building the road. From here you can look out over the peaks around the Großglockner and the Fusch valley. A few hundred metres below to the south lies Fuscher Lacke, a small high-altitude lake at about 2,262 m, next to a small exhibition hall about the road's construction history. The viewpoint itself is free, but you need to buy a Großglockner road toll ticket (roughly €40-plus per car; check the official website for current prices). From Zell am See it is about 40 km and under an hour by car. It can be combined with the Edelweissspitze and the Kaiser Franz Josef viewpoint into a day trip. It can be very windy at this altitude, so bring a jacket even in summer.
