Driving the Grossglockner (next summer)

A follow-up question to the earlier one I posted: we are thinking about driving from Salzburg through Heiligenblut and on to Lienz. We would spend the night in Lienz and the next day drive over the border to Mittenwald, Germany. Does this itinerary make sense?

Why not? Obviously you like the mountains, and driving winding mountain roads. I estimate approx. 4 hours driving time both days. Bigger roads on your second day, easier to drive. Just hope for good weather on the Grossglockner road. Even in summer, it could be anything from warm temperatures, clear skies, sun and excellent views to fog, rain, or an occasional little blizzard..



The town center of Lienz is nice.

Thanks for the advice, Amicus! It sounds like a gorgeous drive; I just wanted to make sure I wasn%26#39;t planning a route that was too demanding. Four hours a day sounds fine.





Blizzards in the summer? Guess we%26#39;d better take our mitts!
