Jednodniowa wycieczka rowerowa z Heiligenblut am Großglockner do Bruck an der Großglocknerstraße

This epic ride kicks off in Heiligenblut am Großglockner, a charming alpine village famous for its dramatic backdrop—the mighty Großglockner, Austria’s tallest peak. Right from the start, you’ll be climbing hard: expect nearly 2000 meters of ascent as you wind along some of the country's most scenic (and leg-burning) mountain roads.

The majority of this 47 km route has blissfully smooth asphalt, and you'll crest the famous Großglockner High Alpine Road, one of Europe’s top bucket-list climbs and a true paradise for cycling enthusiasts. Prepare for jaw-dropping views, snowy peaks (even in summer!), and perhaps a marmot or two cheering you on.

From the summit, soak in reaching a max elevation over 2500 meters before descending all the way to Bruck an der Großglocknerstraße. The ride down is a just reward—long, fast, and flanked by stunning valleys. In Bruck, the landscape softens; it’s a welcoming spot for a post-ride coffee and to relive your adventure.

Definitely bring layers—the weather can change fast! This route is legendary, so take your time and enjoy every switchback.
