GeoloGy Tip:
4 Natural Monument, Glacial Pothole 1,445 m / km 3.0In summer 2006, a sensational discovery was made after a mudslide occurred: a glacial pothole, more than 10,000 years old. Glacial potholes were formed by melt water flowing onto the glacier bed through crevasses. This melt water combined to form streams and, in some places, created eddies with flow velocities of up to 200 km/h.
ViewinG Tip:
9 Gepatsch Reservoir1,750 m / km 8.1The reservoir has a maximum area of 2.6 km², a storage capacity of 140 million m³ (about 700,000,000 baths-full) and is fed by streams in the Kaunertal and Pitztal valleys. When it was completed in 1964, the “rubble dam” was 600 metres long and 153 metres high, making it the tenth highest in the world. There are numerous short walks around the reservoir.
ViewinG Tip:
17 Zirbenwald (Stone Pine Forest)1,970 m / km 17.3The stone pine is the queen among conifers. They form the tree line at about 2,000 m altitude and have some amazing properties: They can withstand temperatures as low as -50 degrees and their fragrant resin in processed wood has antibacterial properties. Properties, which have a soothing effect on the human organism.
GeoloGy Tip:
20 Glacier Polish 2,350 m / km 22.4Marvel at the tremendous power of the ice over the past thousands of years, right from your car! In the rocks by the side of the road, you can see traces from the ice flow and the direction in which it moved.
naTuRe Tip:
7 Ibex Slope1,670 m / km 7.2Ibex and chamois are regularly spotted even during the day on this slope, on the right next to the quarry at bend 28.
adVenTuRe Tip:
15 Fernergarten/Climbing Garden1,890 m / km 16.5Under the magnificent Rifflbach waterfall, you find the start of the via ferrata “Holderli Seppl”, which runs along this waterfall to the top (difficulty A/B). In the climbing garden, 26 routes cover an area of about 150 metres wide and 100 metres high, ranging in difficulty from levels 3 to 7.
hikinG Tip:
19 Rifflbach Waterfalls – Dichterbank2,185 m / km 20.1A short tour of the Rifflbach falls begins at bend 8 and takes about 15 minutes.
adVenTuRe Tip:
24 Frosty Path Through The Glacier Crevasse 2,750 mTake a frosty journey to the glacier crevasse on a secured path. The crevasse is illuminated, giving you the chance to admire the ice in all its glory. Free guided tours (weather dependent) to the glacier crevasse from July until around mid September, Monday – Friday. Meet at 11 am on the sun deck of the Weißsee glacier restaurant. Tours last about 40 minutes; don’t forget suitable footwear and sun protection!
