Pasterze Glacier

The Pasterze glacier is the largest glacier,and one of the most popular tourist destinations in Austria. It is located the Hohe Tauern National Park and can be seen very clearly from the Franz Joseph - Hohe (a view point where you can also admire the Grossglockner) One thing: the length of the glacier is shrinking by about 10 meters per year and has shrunk by half since the first measurements in 1851. If you like walking, you can go down on the funicular to the lookout made on the mountainside, and then walk down the rest of the way.
