Quite a day! First challenge was to escape the Iron Man race. That accomplished, made our way to Millstatt and had a lovely panoramic cruise on the Millsättersee.
Then to the Nationalpark Hohe Tauern and over the Großglockner Hochalpenstraße. Basically, it was a trip up and over the mountains, with spectacular views of the Alps, and especially the Großglockner, which is the highest mountain in Austria. Didn't have time for any hikes, and most visitor centers/exhibits were closed, but stopped for many scenic overlooks. Saw spectacular waterfalls, beautiful flowers (at lower elevations) and...marmots. They were to busy running away, so no picture. We're really happy we're ahead of the season! The thought of the enormous parking lots bring full is pretty scary. Fortunately, they were all pretty much empty.
Gorgeous, but made us much later than we expected. Only option for dinner was McDonalds, which turned out to be a welcome respite from all the meat! Yep, grilled chicken Cesar salads, then on to Innsbruck.
